The XTENDEX® HDMI Over Gigabit IP Extender multicasts digital video and audio signals to one or more receivers up to 333 feet away over a Second-Generation (2G) 1000BASE-T Gigabit Network connected with CAT5e/6/7 cable.
Each HDMI Over Gigabit IP Extender consists of a local unit that connects to an HDMI source, and a remote unit that connects to an HDMI display. The local and remote units can be connected together for a Point-to-Point connection via CATx or a Point-to-Many connection via a network switch. Support for multiple transmitters requires a managed network switch.

- Broadcast real-time HDMI video/audio to multiple display locations.
- Transmits an HDMI signal over one CAT5e/6/7 cable.
- Supports video wall installations from 1x2 to 8x8 screens.
- Plug-and-Play installation allows receivers to find the transmitter automatically on the same network. (Network configuration may be required for Managed network switch.)
- Easily expandable. Add remote units as you add monitors.
- No image scaling, the original video signal that is input will be output at the source resolution.
- Supports 2-way RS232 commands (control software on a PC, or other automated control system hardware such as Control4 or Crestron) to control any devices attached to the matrix using RS232.

- If a non-managed network switch is used for a point-to-many connection, it is not recommended to use other network devices on the same switch as it may cause a degradation in performance.
- Use a PC to access the built-in HTTP Interface of the managed network switch to control what signal is being watched at each location.
- Use a Telnet client to access any receiver on the VLAN or network.
- Customizable EDID table on local unit.
- HDCP compliant.
- LAN Bandwidth: 150Mbps for 1080p
- Protocol: IP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, and IGMP
- Supports video wall installations from 1x2 to 8x8 screens. (See Control Methods for details.)

How to Set-up a Matrix Switch Configuration Using Multiple Transmitters and Receivers and a Managed Network Switch.
A managed network switch with VLAN/IGMP support is required to set-up a matrix switch configuration using multiple transmitters and receivers. Each VLAN configuration acts as a separate HDMI Over IP channel on the network. Display receivers attached to a port on the managed network switch can be connected to any chosen VLAN to display that particular HDMI channel. Configuration settings can be controlled via a managed switch's own web interface (where applicable), with IP commands, or the switch's RS232 control port. Control software on a PC or other other home automation controller hardware, such as Control4 or Creston, can be used to simplify the process of commanding the managed network switch.
