MuxLab IMU-500768-RX - AV Receiver over IP HDMI 4K/60 PoE RS232
The MuxLab 500768-RX is a high-performance AV-over-IP receiver designed for distributing uncompressed 4K HDMI signals over Ethernet networks. This device is the ideal solution for professional audiovisual systems that demand the highest image quality and zero latency. It allows the reception of video signals with resolutions up to 4K (3840x2160) at 60Hz (4:2:0) from a compatible transmitter, transmitted through a 10G Ethernet switch. Its ability to operate in point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multipoint-to-multipoint configurations provides exceptional flexibility to adapt to any installation scale.
Built for reliability and versatility, the 500768-RX receiver can extend HDMI signals up to 100 meters using a single Cat5e/6 cable, eliminating the need for expensive and lengthy HDMI cables. In addition to video and audio signals, this receiver also manages the transmission of control signals, including RS232 and directional IR, enabling remote control of end devices such as projectors or displays. It features an additional 1G network port for connecting other networked devices, simplifying cabling infrastructure. Management can be performed via the MuxLab Pro Digital Network Controller (500811), the MuxLab Control app for smartphones and tablets, or third-party control systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of network cable is recommended for the MuxLab 500768-RX?
It is recommended to use a Cat5e, Cat6 or higher twisted pair cable to ensure optimal 4K signal transmission up to 100 meters.
Does this receiver work independently?
No, the 500768-RX is a receiver and requires a compatible MuxLab transmitter (such as the 500768-TX) and a 10GbE network switch to operate in an AV over IP system.
Is it possible to control the devices connected to the receiver?
Yes, the receiver has RS232 and IR ports that allow the passage of control signals to remotely operate devices such as projectors, televisions, or motorized screens.
What does "zero latency" mean?
This means there is no perceptible delay between the moment the video signal is sent by the source and the moment it is displayed on the screen. This is possible because the signal is transmitted without compression.
