HDMI over IP Extender with IR - Up to 120m

This HDMI over IP Extender Provides Extreme Distribution Versatility!

This device offers a cost effective solution to distribute a HDMI video and audio signal. This HDMI Extender supports 1080p video up to a maximum distance of 120m over a single Cat6 cable (80m over Cat5 or 100m over Cat5e).

This versatile device will convert a HDMI video and audio signal to IP (TCP/IP), which can be transmitted point to point (using the supplied sender and receiver units) or distributed through a network (ethernet switches and routers). The wideband infrared (IR) repeater facilitates seamless control of the source device from the remote location.

For increased versatility, extra HDMI over IP Extender Receiver Units can be purchased and then used in conjunction with network switches or routers for virtually unlimited distribution potential.

Works really well, however be aware that these devices will flood your network with Multicast traffic. If you are using a basic unmanaged network switch or even the ethernet ports on common Internet routers (such as Telstra Gateway) then you'll likely experience significant slow down/congestion in you network performance.

This is by design, not a fault of the HDbitT. To remedy this make sure that you use network switch(es) with IGMP snooping. This ensures Multicast traffic is not sent to hosts that have no need for it. Alternatively you will need to have these devices on a separate physical network or use a VLAN (most switches supporting VLANs will support IGMP snooping anyway).

Delivered the next day (to Canberra). There was an incorrect component in the box but a replacement was shipped out a couple of days later.

The system works very well over my home local area network. Signals are routed through 2 network switches from transmitter to receiver. There was no configuration needed, I just plugged everything in and it all worked.

Works perfectly. Great picture and sound quality. Running over household shared gigabit (cat5e) ethernet via Asus router and Netgear switches. Relaying Foxtel IQ3.

Perfect. No config necessary. Used a cheap gigabit switch and kept it separate from my network. I couldn't be happier.

Note: I first plugged it into my router and it worked but my router was overworked and became noticeably slow for other devices.

Fast postage. Good service. Much appreciated.

I have installed this at my daughters place, works great and everybody is very happy.

Foxtel in two rooms and all my messy equipment in the garage.

Excellent service, received products within 36hrs (NSW to SA).

Product does exactly what the product description says, easy to follow instructions and straight forward assembly. Using product to share Foxtel from one room to another with excellent picture, sound and all remote features working.

My setup is a Foxtel IQ box HDMI out to a HDMI splitter (1 in and 2 out), to the existing TV and one to the Extender unit. Cat5e ethernet cable from the Extender to a Gigabit LAN switch next to the IQ box. The house has a wired LAN, with a 4 port Netgear switch in each room back to the main modem/router. The Receiver unit is connected to the remote room switch and HDMI from the Receiver to the TV.

The IR works perfectly through the LAN with the remote control unit being able to turn the IQ unit on and off (standby mode). All the remote playback features are working from the remote room.
