The HDMI over IP H.264/H.265 PoE Extender Transmitter and Receiver combination allows HDMI source and display equipment to be extended locally up to 330ft (100m) at up to 4K at 60Hz resolution via Cat5e/6 cable in point-to-point, point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint configurations via a local Ethernet network, in a low bandwidth, flexible, expandable and cost-effective manner, without the need to install dedicated cabling systems. The exceptionally low bandwidth requirements of this device combination allow for streaming audio/video content over a local network, over WiFi, and over the Internet for distributed installations spread-out throughout the globe. The transmitter accepts a 1080p at 60Hz video and streams the content to the Receiver, where the signal is up-scaled up to 4K at 60Hz to be displayed on a 4K monitor. The Receiver also accepts H.264/H.265 video streams from other transmitting devices of up to 4K at 60Hz, and supports a USB 3.0 Type A connector for storing and playback of local content from an external USB drive. These devices support PoE (PD) and may be powered by a PoE (PSE) Ethernet Switch.
