Main features
This receiver stands out for its versatility and technical power, making it a key piece for professional installers:
-
Single-cable HDBaseT technology: Transmits video, audio, and IR control signals simultaneously over a standard Ethernet cable (Cat5e/6), reducing installation costs and time.
-
Extended range: Allows you to receive 1080p signals up to a distance of 70 meters and 4K UHD signals up to 40 meters , overcoming the limitations of conventional HDMI cables.
-
Wallplate Decora format: Its vertical and compact design (43x110 mm) fits standard Decora type wall plates, offering an accessible and professional front HDMI connection.
-
Bidirectional Infrared (IR) Control: Includes ports for IR sensors and emitters, allowing control of the video source from the screen or vice versa, ideal for hiding equipment in technical cabinets.
-
3D and Deep Color Support: Fully compatible with HDMI 1.4 specifications, including 3D content and advanced color depths for faithful reproduction.
Benefits for the installer and the end user
For system integrators , the MuxLab 500451-WP-DEC-RX solves the common problem of delivering high-quality signals to remote viewing points without the need for multiple cables or bulky converters behind the television. The inclusion of an external power supply ensures stable and reliable operation, regardless of the transmitter's power load.
For the end user , the main benefit is technological "invisibility." All they see is a sleek wall plate where they can connect their display—no black boxes or dangling cables. The ability to remotely control equipment (such as a Blu-ray player or a PC in another room) adds a layer of convenience and sophistication to their meeting or entertainment space.
Use cases
-
Boardrooms and Corporate Rooms: Clean connection behind wall-mounted monitors or ceiling projectors, receiving signal from a conference table or distant technical rack.
-
Educational Environments: Classrooms and auditoriums where the projector is far from the teacher's video source, requiring robust long-distance transmission.
-
Digital Signage: Information screens in lobbies or shopping centers where the multimedia player must be securely stored in a server room.
-
Home Cinema: Residential installations that seek to hide all electronics, leaving only the TV visible with a discreet wall connection.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a specific transmitter for this receiver to work?
Yes, this device is a receiver (RX) and must be paired with a compatible MuxLab transmitter, such as the 500451-TX model or wall transmitters of the same series, to establish the HDBaseT link.
Does the device require electrical power?
Yes, the product includes its own external power supply. This ensures the receiver has enough power to operate correctly, especially over long cable runs where Power over Ethernet (PoE) might not be an option or available at the transmitter.
Is it compatible with standard European flush-mounting boxes?
The device is in the "Decora" type (American standard, approximately 43x110 mm). For installations in Europe, it is recommended to verify the dimensions of the back box and use an adapter frame if installing in standard 60 mm round boxes, or use rectangular boxes compatible with the US format.
