Black Box MediaCento IPX HD HDMI-Over-IP Extender Receiver - 328.08 ft Range

Overview: The Black Box MediaCento IPX HD Receiver delivers HDMI-over-IP distribution over a Gigabit Ethernet network, making it ideal for single-display installations where high-definition video must be sent over existing network infrastructure. Typical deployments include touchscreen systems with iCOMPEL digital signage, classroom streaming, corporate training and video sharing, command-and-control room displays, hospitality (bars/restaurants), retail/event venues, and multi-room corporate solutions. Networked HDMI video: The unit uses standards-based Ethernet and TCP/IP to stream HDMI HD video. It supports both unicast (direct point-to-point) and multicast modes — in multicast, a single transmitter can feed multiple receivers without adding extra network load. The unicast system transmits up to 328.08 ft (100 m) point-to-point; adding network switches extends that reach. Video quality and compatibility: MediaCento IPX HD supports Full HD video up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p) for crisp imagery. It includes EDID copy functionality and is HDCP 2.2-compliant to ensure optimal PC-to-screen performance and compatibility with protected content. Power and installation: The receiver supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) for remote powering, reducing the need for separate power supplies when used with a PoE-enabled switch. A 5-VDC, 3-A power supply is included in the package for environments without PoE. Plug-and-play setup is straightforward: connect your source, display, and a Gigabit switch (or direct connection) and the system is ready to use. Video wall and switching recommendations: For streaming and multicasting to video walls, pair the MediaCento IPX HD with Black Box LPB2900 Series Gigabit PoE+ Managed Switches (LPB2910A, LPB2926A, LPB2952A).
