MuxLab 500766-FIBER - Uncompressed 4K/60 AV over IP Transmitter via Fiber Optic
The MuxLab 500766-FIBER is a high-performance KVM-over-IP transceiver (transmitter/receiver) designed for distributing HDMI audio and video signals over 10Gb Ethernet networks. This device allows you to connect and extend HDMI equipment with resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz, delivering exceptional image quality without compression and with zero latency. Thanks to the use of OM3 multimode fiber optic cable, it can reach distances of up to 300 meters, guaranteeing stable and degradation-free signal transmission, ideal for large-scale professional installations.
This versatile transceiver stands out for its ability to operate in multiple configurations. It can be used in point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multipoint-to-multipoint applications, allowing you to create fully scalable and customizable AV-over-IP infrastructures. It is the perfect solution for building video walls, virtual matrix switches, and splitters of any size, supporting hundreds of displays depending on network bandwidth. Furthermore, its compatibility with KVM (Keyboard, Video, and Mouse) via USB 1.1, along with support for RS232 and bidirectional IR, facilitates comprehensive remote control of connected devices.
