SIIG Full HD HDMI Over IP Extender Kit

Experience seamless distribution of Full HD video and stereo audio across your existing IP infrastructure with the SIIG Full HD HDMI Over IP Extender Kit. This versatile system is engineered to extend HDMI signals to remote displays over UTP CAT5e/6 cabling, reaching up to 120 meters, making it ideal for conference rooms, classrooms, digital signage, and multi-room home theater setups. Built for scalability, it supports a scalable TX/RX matrix on a dedicated IP network, enabling you to expand from a single transmitter and receiver to a broader deployment as needs evolve. With support for up to 256 total units and a practical limit of 100 transmitters, you gain the flexibility to design multi-zone video distributions for larger venues while keeping installation straightforward and reliable. The kit is designed for easy, plug-and-play operation and compatibility with a wide range of HDMI sources and displays, ensuring a robust backbone for any HD signaling scenario.

• Extends HDMI signals with stereo audio to a remote display over UTP CAT5e/6 cabling up to 120 meters, enabling reliable Full HD 1080p video transmission without sacrificing audio fidelity or image quality.
• Works as a scalable TX/RX Matrix over a dedicated IP network, allowing up to 256 total units with a practical cap of 100 transmitters for large, multi-room deployments.
• Delivers flexible distribution using standard network practices, enabling efficient routing of HDMI streams to multiple displays across the facility or venue with centralized control and minimal cabling clutter.
• Expansion options are available to grow your system: additional transmitter units (part# CE-H23B11-S2) and additional receiver units to extend coverage as requirements change.
• Plug-and-play compatibility with most HDMI sources and displays, simple CAT5e/6 wiring, and straightforward setup that reduces installation time and complexity for AV teams.

How to install SIIG Full HD HDMI Over IP Extender Kit

Follow these practical steps to establish a reliable point-to-point link and then scale to a multi-destination matrix as needed:

• Power down all connected devices before making any connections to prevent electrical shorts and ensure safe, clean boot-up.
• Connect the HDMI source to the TX unit’s HDMI input using a standard HDMI cable, ensuring a secure connection and proper source handshake.
• Link the TX unit to the RX unit using a CAT5e/6 cable. For a simple point-to-point deployment, connect directly; for a networked matrix, route the TX-to-RX links over your dedicated IP network as directed by your AV or IT team.
• Connect the RX unit’s HDMI output to the remote display using an HDMI cable, then power on both TX and RX units along with the connected displays. Confirm that the display receives video and that audio plays back correctly.
• If deploying a matrix, add additional TX or RX units as needed and ensure they are reachable over the dedicated IP network. Use the expansion transmitter units (CE-H23B11-S2) to add more TX nodes and include extra receivers to broaden the layout.
• Configure any network routing, matrix controls, or device-specific software to manage the distribution. Test each endpoint individually and then verify synchronized playback across multiple displays to ensure consistent performance across the entire system.
