INTRODUCTION
The EX-57EG HDMI2.0 over IP Multicast Transceiver System with Video Wall support boosts up
your video/audio transmission distance up to 120m(396ft) in UHD 4K2K format. With cost effective
Ethernet cable, users can readily extend UHD sources from DVD players, Blu-ray Disc player, PS4, PC,
and any other HDMI sources broadcasting to distant display monitors including HDMI or DVI enabled TV
sets or LCD PC monitors. In addition, EX-57EG is HDCP compliant, and supports IR and RS-232 pass-
through path.
With broadcasting management software and Gigabit Ethernet network switch (supporting IGMP),
EX-57EG is a complete UHD video broadcasting solution for digital signage. It can transmit UHD HDMI
video broadcasting over IP network. The broadcasting format can be Point to Point, Point to Many, and
Multi-Casting. Multi-casting is based on Managed Gigabit Switch with 802.1Q VLAN function which
provides control remotely and so multi video sources are allowed and supported. To provide more
flexibilities for installations, EX-57EG can work as either a transmitter or a receiver. By this transceiver
feature, we can bring more possibilities for field applications and verifications.
