PT-IP-HD2K-RX – HDMI IP Receiver: 2K Video Distribution and Control over IP Networks
The PT-IP-HD2K-RX is a dedicated HDMI over IP receiver engineered for professional AV environments requiring reliable 2K video extension, distribution, and matrix switching across standard network infrastructure. Utilising H.264 decoding, this unit supports scalable video delivery and remote device management via integrated IR and RS232 signal reception. The receiver’s passive PoE capability streamlines power distribution through network switches, reducing cabling complexity in installations such as meeting rooms, control rooms, and signage deployments. Additional features include HDMI loop-out for local monitoring and audio breakout, supporting versatile integration scenarios in hybrid AV systems.

• H.264 IP Streaming: Supports real-time H.264 decoding for HDMI signals transmitted over IP networks. This enables efficient video compression and transmission, facilitating high-quality 1080p (60Hz 4:4:4) playback across standard Ethernet infrastructure without requiring dedicated AV cabling.

• 2K HDMI Extension and Distribution: Enables extension, distribution, and matrixing of 1080p HDMI signals over Cat.X cabling up to 120m. The system supports flexible video routing for installations where displays and sources are distributed across large or segmented spaces.

• Integrated IR and RS232 Control: Receives IR and RS232 control signals alongside video content, allowing remote management of connected devices. This integration supports centralised control in environments such as meeting spaces, signage networks, or control rooms.

• PoE Network Switch Powering: The decoder operates directly from a PoE-enabled network switch, eliminating the need for local power supplies. This simplifies deployment in rack-based or distributed AV systems and reduces potential points of failure in the power topology.

• Comprehensive Streaming Protocol Support: Supports RTSP, RTP, HTTP-FLV, UDP, and TCP protocols, with both Unicast and Multicast streaming modes. This ensures compatibility with a wide range of AV-over-IP platforms and facilitates integration into existing networked AV workflows.

Flexible Video Extension and Control for AV Networks
By combining H.264 decoding, PoE operation, and support for multiple streaming protocols, the PT-IP-HD2K-RX provides a scalable solution for HDMI signal extension and control across professional AV networks. The unit supports streamlined installation, remote device management, and versatile distribution topologies, addressing the requirements of modern meeting spaces, signage systems, and control room deployments.
