Hall Research HHD264-R-PD HDMI over LAN Receiver with PoE
HHD264 family of economical HDMI over LAN senders and receivers provide unparalleled power and ease to distribute one or more HDMI sources to multiple displays on any LAN. Up to 64 independent senders can be simultaneously connected to the network and up to 256 receivers can be accommodated. Gigabit (1000 BaseT) network infrastructure is recommended to allow for up to 64 video streams to be transported, although the system works with 100 BaseT networks but with fewer sources. Full-HD (1080p/60) video is transmitted using the latest H.264 encoding scheme with user definable bit rate.
For a perfect image Full-HD uses 15 Mbps whereas HD (1080i or 720p) uses 12 Mbps. However, if the content is mostly static (such as slide shows), users can encode with lower data rates to save bandwidth and still have a perfect image.
HDMI video and audio are extended along with bidirectional RS-232 data. Video routing from the senders to the receivers can be pre-assigned (using multi-cast group dip switch), but the system can also behave as a Dynamic Virtual Matrix Switch. So if the signal routing from senders to receivers is going to be fixed, the installer can just set the dip switches to route senders to any one or group of receivers. However, users can switch the source shown on any receiver on the y (dynamically). This is done by going into each receiver's IP address and accessing the WebGUI, or by using Hall Research's free Dynamic Virtual Matrix Windows software. Using the software enables the user to re-route the signals to all receivers from one central screen easily and conveniently.
Please Note! This is a Receiver unit only. Sender (transmitter) sold separately.
