MuxLab 500709-RX - HDMI 2.0 over IP SDVoE Receiver over 10Gb Fiber Optic
The MuxLab 500709-RX is a state-of-the-art receiver designed for the most demanding audiovisual installations on the market. Part of the high-end range of AV-over-IP solutions, this device utilizes revolutionary SDVoE (Software Defined Video over Ethernet) technology to receive HDMI 2.0 video, audio, and control signals via 10 Gigabit fiber optic links. When paired with its compatible transmitter (500709-TX), this equipment enables massive bandwidth extension, virtually eliminating any perceptible image degradation or latency.
Designed for environments where traditional copper cabling reaches its limits, the 500709-RX harnesses the power of multimode fiber optic cable (OM3 or OM4) to cover distances up to 400 meters . Its ability to handle 4K resolutions at 60Hz with 4:4:4 color subsampling makes it the preferred choice for professional deployments where color fidelity and pixel accuracy are critical. Furthermore, its compact and robust form factor facilitates integration behind displays, in ceilings, or in technical furniture without compromising space.
Flexibility is one of its key strengths. Operating on a 10GbE network infrastructure, this receiver not only acts as a simple point-to-point extender but can also be part of a massive virtual array or complex software-managed video wall configurations. This allows the system to scale from a single screen to hundreds, maintaining perfect synchronization and centralized management. Its immunity to electromagnetic interference, thanks to the use of fiber optics, ensures stable transmission even in industrial or medical environments with high electrical noise.
Main features
-
SDVoE technology: Offers uncompressed video transmission (or mathematically lossless in higher modes) with zero latency (less than 100 microseconds).
-
Real HDMI 2.0 Support: Capable of handling resolutions up to 4K Ultra HD at 60 frames per second with full color space (4:4:4).
-
Fiber Optic Connectivity: Uses SFP+ modules for transmission over multimode fiber, reaching 300m with OM3 cable and up to 400m with OM4.
-
10Gbps bandwidth: Take advantage of 10 Gigabit network switches for bottleneck-free data flow.
-
Videowall Capability: Supports video wall configurations with bezel correction and advanced scaling.
-
Versatile Control: Allows the passing of RS-232 and IR commands to control the screens from a remote location.
-
Multichannel Audio: Supports pass-through of high-definition digital audio formats.
Benefits for the integrator and the end user
-
Pristine image quality: Ideal for applications where lossy compression cannot be tolerated, ensuring that what you see at the source is exactly what is displayed on the screen.
-
Safety and Isolation: Optical fiber provides total galvanic isolation, protecting expensive equipment from overvoltages and eliminating electromagnetic interference (EMI).
-
Unlimited scalability: Because it is IP-based, the system can grow by adding more receivers and switches as needed, without replacing the core infrastructure.
-
Real-time interaction: Thanks to its "zero-frame" latency, it is perfect for systems where the delay between the mouse and the screen would be unacceptable.
Use cases
-
Operating rooms and medical sector: For the transmission of endoscopy or X-ray images where color accuracy and the absence of latency are vital.
-
Command and control centers: Visualization of critical data in real time on large format video walls.
-
Simulation and Virtual Reality: Military or aeronautical training environments that require instant response.
-
Events and Stadiums: Long-distance transmission without signal loss through the venue's fiber optic infrastructure.
-
Video post-production: Remote monitoring of 4K content with absolute color fidelity.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
Does this receiver work independently?
No, it requires a compatible transmitter (such as the MuxLab 500709-TX) and, for multipoint configurations, a managed 10GbE network switch.
