Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The HDMI over LAN Extender is a perfect solution for audio and video signal
extension via an existing Local Area Network (LAN) system. With multicast
technology, one local unit can drive multiple remote units with no extra network
load. There are 16 selectable channels that can be used to transmit to multiple
receivers. In a network that supports IGMP (Layer 2 or Layer 3 switches), each
channel can connect to 64 displays in video wall applications and unlimited displays
in a multicast application using a standard IT Ethernet structure on a LAN system.
The HDMI over LAN Extender supports Full HD 1080p, is HDCP compliant, and is
Blu-ray ready. It can handle applications that require greater distance, high speed
transmission, real-time high video resolution, security, and noise immunity. It is ideal
for situations that need live presentation, such as public broadcasting, education
centers, boardrooms, etc.
