MuxLab 500890 - HDMI over IP Receiver with Digital Signage Player
The MuxLab 500890 is a high-performance device that exceptionally combines the functionality of an HDMI over IP receiver and a digital signage player. Designed for professional audiovisual installations, this equipment allows the reception of H.264/H.265 video signals with resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz (4:4:4) , guaranteeing superior, uncompromising image quality. It is the ideal solution for distributing multimedia content over long distances via a standard Ethernet network.
When used with a compatible transmitter, such as the MuxLab 500763-TX or 500764-TX models, the 500890 receiver can extend an HDMI source up to 100 meters using a single twisted-pair cable (Cat5e/6). Its network architecture is incredibly versatile, allowing point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multipoint-to-multipoint configurations. This scalability makes it the ideal centerpiece for complex projects like video walls and multiview systems, where multiple sources and displays need to coexist and be centrally managed.
