Ports on the Vigor Switch 1281 not used for video can be used for normal data networking. The HVE290 comes as a pair (sender & receiver) although additional receiver units are available separately too. The sender unit connects to your video source (HDMI) & to the Vigor Switch V1281 (RJ45 sockets). The receiver unit connects back to your Vigor Switch 1281 & outputs to your TV, screen or projectors HDMI input, elsewhere in your building. The HVE290 uses a video codec designed to balance bandwidth conservation with frame rate
- i.e. to reduce dropping frames in fast-moving scenes which can cause jerkiness, particularly on larger screens or projectors in panning shots. The HVE290 also provides full HD with up to 36-bit colour to ensure you get great resolution & picture fidelity, even on a large screen & can transmit regular PCM Stereo, Dolby surround or DTS sources to the receivers. The HVE290 can also downscale or upscale when youre using a one-to-many configuration with screens of different resolutions (e.g. transmit a 1080P picture & display it on a 720P & 1080P screen simultaneously).
