Ideal for home theaters, conference rooms, classrooms, digital signage, and multi-zone installations, this system delivers long-range, reliable HDMI transmission with the convenience of infrared (IR) control. Built for modern networks, it works seamlessly with IGMP-enabled gigabit switches and supports VLANs, making it a versatile choice for both residential and professional setups. With a 120-meter (394-foot) reach and one-to-one or one-to-many configurations, you can place displays where they matter most while maintaining pristine video quality, responsive control, and easy integration into existing IT environments. Whether you’re upgrading a single living room to a multi-room distribution system or deploying a classroom-wide display network, this HDMI HDbitT extender provides the bandwidth, stability, and flexibility you need without sacrificing simplicity.

• High-definition HDMI over IP with HDbitT: Transmit 1080p60 video and accompanying audio over Cat5e/6 cables up to 120 meters (394 feet) from transmitter to receiver, preserving sharp detail, accurate colors, and synchronized sound for home theaters, classrooms, and corporate AV setups. The HDbitT technology is engineered to deliver reliable signal integrity across standard network infrastructure, making it a practical choice for equipment already in place.
• One-to-one and One-to-many distribution: Use a single transmitter to drive a single display or expand to multiple displays by connecting additional receivers through an IGMP-enabled Gigabit switch or hub. This flexible configuration supports scalable multi-room or multi-zone installations while maintaining video/audio synchronization and consistent performance across all connected displays.
• Cat5e/6 compatibility and long-range deployment: The extender kit relies on widespread Cat5e/6 cabling, enabling you to leverage existing network infrastructure. With a maximum transmission distance of 120 meters (394 feet), you can position displays far from the source without sacrificing image clarity or audio fidelity, making it ideal for large living spaces, conference venues, or campus environments.
• IR remote control passthrough: Built-in IR control allows you to operate the source or display remotely from another room. With IR transmitters and receivers integrated into the system, you can keep your media player, streaming device, or display within easy reach while managing content and playback from a comfortable seating area or a control desk.
• Network-ready with VLAN and cascade support: The extender is designed to work with IGMP-enabled gigabit Ethernet switches and supports VLAN configurations, enabling streamlined traffic management in complex networks. Cascade up to 256 units for expansive installations, making it suitable for large venues, universities, or distributed digital signage networks while preserving performance and control.

how to install SIIG HDMI HDbitT Over IP Extender with IR - 120m

Start by assembling the core transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) units. Connect your HDMI source to the TX input using a standard HDMI cable, then connect the TX to your network or switch using a Cat5e/6 cable. Run the same category cable from the RX to your display’s HDMI input. Attach the IR transmitter near the HDMI source and place the IR receiver near the display or in the control area to maximize remote functionality. Power on both TX and RX units and verify that the HDMI signal arrives with full HD quality on the display. If you plan to distribute to multiple displays, integrate additional RX units into your network, ensuring the network switch supports IGMP and VLANs if required. For multi-room deployments, configure the switch for IGMP multicast to optimize traffic, and use VLANs to segment AV data from other network traffic for improved performance. Finally, test the IR control across rooms to confirm responsive commands from your remote location. Regularly confirm firmware compatibility with your network equipment, and follow best practices for cable management and device placement to minimize interference and ensure consistent performance across all endpoints.
