With TX/RX mode switching, cascading capabilities, and robust support for 1080p resolution, the SIIG HDMI Over IP Encoder & Decoder Transceiver offers a practical, future-friendly approach to AV distribution. Its design emphasizes drop-in compatibility with standard Ethernet networks, straightforward setup, and dependable performance in real-world environments—from small meeting rooms to multi-display environments. The result is a streamlined workflow that reduces cabling complexity while preserving the fidelity of your video and audio signals. This makes it a compelling choice for professionals who demand both quality and adaptability in a single, compact package.

• Point-to-point HDMI over IP distribution with high-fidelity video and audio: The encoder captures HDMI video and embedded audio, packages it for IP transmission, and the decoder restores a pristine HDMI signal at the display. The outcome is smooth playback, faithful color reproduction, and lip-sync accuracy suitable for presentations, multimedia playback, and immersive signage.
• TX/RX mode switching for flexible deployments: Easily configure devices to operate as transmitters or receivers to adapt to changing room layouts or temporary setups. This flexibility supports quick reconfigurations for different events, room configurations, or signage strategies without swapping hardware.
• Cascading support to scale your network: Add extra encoders/decoders on the same IP network to extend reach or increase the number of displays. Cascading eliminates the need for complex matrix switches while enabling centralized control and simple expansion as needs grow.
• 1080p clarity with dependable audio: Full HD resolution at 1080p60 provides sharp detail and smooth motion, complemented by embedded audio that travels alongside the video to the display. Ideal for corporate communications, training materials, and high-definition signage.
• Long-distance transmission via standard Ethernet: Capable of transmitting HDMI signals over IP networks up to 600 feet (183 meters), making it suitable for large rooms, multi-room installations, and campus environments where direct HDMI cabling would be impractical or cost-prohibitive.

How to install SIIG HDMI Over IP Encoder & Decoder Transceiver

• Plan placement: position the encoder near the HDMI source and the decoder near the display. Ensure both devices have access to a shared IP network with reliable power.
• Connect HDMI sources and displays: attach the HDMI output from the source to the encoder’s HDMI input, and connect the decoder’s HDMI output to the display.
• Establish network connectivity: connect each unit to the local network using the RJ-45 ports. If possible, place both devices on the same VLAN or network segment to minimize latency and ensure stable streaming.
• Power up and configure: plug in the power adapters for both the encoder and the decoder. Set the encoder to TX mode and the decoder to RX mode. Verify signal presence and basic operation via LED indicators.
• Test and optimize: perform a test playback of video and audio, adjust any network settings if necessary (such as optimization for QoS on managed switches), and, if needed, cascade additional units by adding them to the same IP network and configuring their TX/RX roles to expand coverage.
