Poly Video Extender Transmitter

The Poly Video Extender Transmitter is designed to push the reach of your video conferences beyond the traditional room boundaries. It captures a high-quality video signal from your source and seamlessly extends it over longer distances to a Poly Video Extender Receiver or compatible endpoints, preserving picture quality, color accuracy, and audio synchronization. Built for bustling corporate environments, hybrid offices, classrooms, and home workspaces, this transmitter delivers reliable performance, straightforward setup, and scalable capabilities that adapt as your collaboration needs evolve. Whether you’re coordinating multi-site meetings, large training sessions, or executive briefings, this device helps ensure every participant stays visually engaged and connected.

• Crystal-clear video across distances: The transmitter is engineered to maintain sharp details, natural color, and smooth motion as the signal travels through longer cable runs or network paths. This results in less eye strain for participants and more productive meetings. Ideal for everything from intimate huddle rooms to large conference spaces, it minimizes frame drops and jitter while supporting dynamic scenes, presenters, and collaborative whiteboarding without sacrificing fidelity.
• Enterprise-grade reliability and security: Built to withstand demanding workloads, the transmitter delivers robust error correction, stable signal integrity, and secure signaling. Encryption and secure pairing help protect your conferencing data during transmission, reducing the risk of unauthorized access or interception. With dependable performance under varying network conditions, you can rely on consistent video and audio quality during critical business discussions.
• Seamless integration with Poly ecosystem: Designed to work in concert with Poly Video Extender Receivers and other Poly conferencing endpoints, the transmitter provides a cohesive experience across rooms and campuses. Centralized management, uniform settings, and streamlined user workflows mean IT teams can deploy, monitor, and maintain extended conferencing without friction. This integration also supports simplified firmware updates and holistic performance analytics.
• Flexible connectivity and power options: Connect to your video source via HDMI, then link to the receiver through a standard Poly-approved path—whether a dedicated extension network or a reliable network link. For power, use Power over Ethernet (PoE) where available, or attach the included power adapter. This flexibility lets you place the transmitter in optimal locations without compromising ease of installation or reliability.
• Compact, adaptable form factor for any space: The transmitter’s compact design fits neatly on a desk, shelf, or wall mount, minimizing footprint while delivering maximum performance. Quiet operation and robust construction make it suitable for busy office environments, classrooms, and dynamic meeting spaces that frequently reconfigure or relocate equipment.

how to install Poly Video Extender Transmitter

• Choose an appropriate placement: Position the transmitter near the video source and ensure adequate ventilation. Avoid heat sources and high-traffic areas where it could be bumped or disconnected.
• Connect your video source: Attach the HDMI output from your camera, presentation computer, or other source to the transmitter’s HDMI input using a high-quality HDMI cable of suitable length to avoid signal loss.
• Link to the extender network or recipient: Connect the transmitter to the corresponding Poly Video Extender Receiver or network path as specified by your deployment. If you are using PoE, connect the Ethernet port to a PoE-enabled switch; otherwise, use the appropriate power supply.
• Power on and initialize: Supply power to the transmitter via PoE or the included adapter. Allow the device to boot and automatically negotiate with the paired receiver or control system to establish the best available video settings.
• Configure and test: Use Poly management tools to verify link status, video resolution, and audio synchronization. Adjust placement or settings as needed to optimize performance, then run a quick test call to confirm clarity, latency, and reliability across the extended link.
