Features
An Effective Digital Signage Solution Designed for Easy Setup and Operation
This HDMI over IP encoder and decoder kit supports visually lossless 4K signals with low latency up to 393 feet (120 meters) point to point or via a standard Gigabit Ethernet switch. Engineered to meet today’s demands of large-scale, multi-display 4K signal transmission, the B161-101 is ideal for a wide range of indoor environments, such as trade shows, airports, university campuses, conference centers and shopping centers. The kit follows TCP/IP standards for reliable AV over IP installations.
Lightweight Compression with Ultra-Low Latency
The kit uses advanced video lossless compression technology to extend 4K video at 30 Hz with 3.4 Gbps/340 mHz per channel (10.2 Gbps all channels), 3D video support and 12-bit per channel color depth.
Limitless Scalability and Flexibility
Mix and match the latest 4K displays in simple point-to-point setups or more elaborate point-to-multipoint setups via LAN (local area network) without distance limitations. In conjunction with multiple B161-001 extender receivers (sold separately), this kits offers multi-functionality in video wall and daisy-chain applications.
Configure Video Installations with a Keyboard and Mouse
Connect the transmitter's USB-A port to a computer and connect a keyboard and mouse to the KVM ports on the receiver to control the video installation from the display side.
Extend Multiple B161-Series Decoders
Connect multiple B161-001 decoder units (sold separately) through a dedicated Ethernet network switch. Cabling and system deployment is easy with fewer cables needed. The daisy-chain function is especially ideal for large-scale deployment covering a wide area, such as hotels, airports, shopping malls and expo centers.
