OVEVIEW
The HLX-500 HDMI Extender gives users the freedom to
extend HDMI signals via LAN, using inexpensive Cat5e/6
cables that many modern communications already rely on.
This chainable extender can be used to generate thousands
of feet of HDMI signal extension, breaking distance
barriers. Users can set up their own extension cabling or
utilize the pre-existing LAN infrastructure they have access
to. Each unit extends signals up
to 500 feet. With no software or driver required, users can
easily extend HDMI signals such as HDTV, Blu-Ray, video
game consoles and more. HLX-500 supports 1080p HD
video up to 1920x1080 resolution at 60Hz and is Infrared
Remote enabled.
The HLX-500 is a compact unit that is easily integrated
into a digital display network at retail stores, restaurants,
ofce spaces and many other venues. The transmitter and
receiver units are small yet sturdy, which makes inclusion
into any audio/video infrastructure quick and efcient.
The HLX-500 compresses data to utilize Cat5e/6 cables,
but users will see no degradation of signal when using one
gigabit Internet connections and up. For users utilizing
pre-existing LAN connections, implementing a one gigabit
switch allows for full resolution extension. Users with
smaller bandwidth will experience compressed signals, if
they so choose.
