send out an HDMI Signal (1080p video with 2.1 audio, USB & RS-232) to one or more HDMI
video display devices using CAT5e/6/7 Cable over a standard Ethernet infrastructure. The JPX
Series can be used to distribute HD digital content from multiple sources to many destinations on
a LAN. AV signals are transmitted digitally over a CAT5e/6/7 cable with visual lossless quality with
low latency. Internal video compression adapts to available network bandwidth if needed. The
series also has a Videowall mode capabilities making it perfect for low cost digital signage
applications.The RS-232 can be used to remotely control devices from any receiver or transmitter
location. A USB signal can also be passed through with the RS-232 and HDMI signal making the
JPX Series a single cable solution.
Computer software is available for full control and management or the optional HJ-PXC can be
used to interface with control systems or other devices via LAN.
