Designed for video signage applications the Techconnect Matrix allows distribution of HDMI content over an existing managed LAN infrastructure. Because of this the cost of deployment is radically lower than bespoke AV distribution systems. Features Matrix modes It supports point-to-point, point-to-multiple, and multiple-to-multiple matrixing. MJPEG compression It converts the video into TCP/IP packets using proprietary MPEG compression. The audio & vision are compressed together ensuring no delay issues at the receiver which may lead to out-of-sync audio on a busy network. RS-232 Not only can it distribute video & audio;it can also RS-232 transmit 2-way control signal to the display devices. Cascading network switches The signal can be transmitted to any point on the LAN through any number of network switches. Or two devices can bypass the LAN & connect directly to each other. Note:used in this way the devices still need addressing during installation. HDCP compliant Techconnect Matrix supports HDMI with full HDCP compliance. Power over Ethernet (Po E) A power supply is included for each node, but the transmitters & receivers can also use standard Power over Ethernet (Po E) to operate. Many network switches output Po E, or injectors can be fitted to a network to add Po E to a network.
