2. INTRODUCTION
The Avenview HDM-C6VWIP-SET, Matrix IP Extender with Audio, IR RS232 and KVM function provides extension of high
definition video and high quality audio. This device can be used into any solution with its unique design allowing connection by
the following:-
Point to Point - (Direct Connection with CAT5/6) - 330ft
Point to Multi - Point with CAT5/6 requires a POE Network Switch which supports port based, IGMP v2.0 or above protocol.
For large application, we would recommend Dell Networking 5500 series, which use 2 HDMI port or 2 SFP port to cascade.
Matrix Function – with CAT 5/6 cable without any signal loss add multiple Sources to multiple TX which links via LAN by
cascading any POE Gigabit Ethernet switches up to 3 levels, to the Rx connected to the HD Monitors at different locations on
the Network. Transporting Full HD 1080p video and internally JPEG video compression adapts to available network bandwidth
if needed while retaining vivid picture with PCM audio.
Videowall Function - with CAT 5/6 cable without any signal loss add multiple Sources to multiple TX and RX to the HD
displays to achieve a Multi Input videowall configuration. The device ensures flexibility within any videowall design, layout and
configuration. Its modular design allows example 1x2 ,2x2 3x3 up to 8x8. Easily controlled via the Control Software to manage
and setup the bezel, input and configuration of the Videowall. Optional IP control box to send commands via a third party
automation system through Telnet commands for simple presentation on the HD diplays.
The IR function on the TX / RX can be used to remotely control the HDMI source device from any receiver location. Support
USB 2.0, USB signal will be passed through with the HDMI signal
Having a small form factor and easily configurable via control software on any Windows PC the user can set an IP on the
Transmitter and choose the corresponding Receiver to match the same IP subnet.
- Support 1080P@60Hz up to 100meters in Point-to-Point mode.
- Support Seamless Switching in Many-to-Many mode.
- Support matrix switching control over LAN by PC software.
- Support cascading connection through POE Gigabit Ethernet Switch.
- HDMI local Pass-through out in transmitter.
- USB over IP supported for KVM application.
- HDMI de-embedded audio out with programmable audio delay.
- Support IR, RS232 and web interface management.
- NOTE: The QUALITY and TRANSMISSION of the video signals depends on the characteristics and quality of the UTP cables
and Network Infrastructure . We recommend any Network Switches with 10GB POE IGMP v2.0 support . Tested and configured
on the below models
