MuxLab 500754-RX - HDMI over Gigabit LAN Receiver for Video Wall
The MuxLab 500754-RX is a high-performance receiver designed for HDMI video distribution over a Gigabit LAN. This device is the key component for building high-impact digital signage systems and video walls. It allows you to receive Full HD 1080p video signals from a compatible transmitter (sold separately) via standard Cat 5e/6 network cabling, eliminating the distance limitations of traditional HDMI cables and offering unparalleled flexibility in professional audiovisual installations.
Thanks to its advanced Motion JPEG compression technology, the receiver guarantees visually lossless video quality with ultra-low latency of just one frame, imperceptible to the human eye and crucial for applications requiring perfect synchronization. Its Power over Ethernet (PoE) capability greatly simplifies installation, as a single network cable can supply both data and power, reducing cable clutter and the need for local power supplies at each display.
Main features
-
IP Distribution: Receives HDMI video signals via a local area network (LAN), allowing for scalable and flexible configurations.
-
Full HD video quality: Supports resolutions up to 1080p, ensuring a crisp and detailed image on any screen.
-
Minimal Latency: Visually lossless compression and a latency of just 1 millisecond (one frame) ensure smooth and natural video playback.
-
Video Wall Capability: Designed specifically for creating custom video wall configurations. One receiver is required per display and is managed via the MuxLab 500812 network controller for centralized configuration and control.
-
Long Transmission Range: Reaches up to 100 meters over Cat 5e/6 cabling through a network switch. In a direct point-to-point connection (without a switch), the distance can be extended up to 120 meters.
-
PoE Power: Compatible with the Power over Ethernet standard, allowing the device to be powered directly through the network cable, simplifying installation.
-
Extended Control: Supports the passage of IR and RS232 control signals, allowing control of the video source (such as a media player) from the screen location.
-
Flexible Configuration: Using an integrated dip switch, basic configurations can be made quickly and easily to suit different installation scenarios.
Benefits for the audiovisual integrator
The MuxLab 500754-RX receiver is designed to simplify complex audiovisual projects. Its IP-based architecture allows for virtually unlimited scalability, from simple point-to-point deployments to massive multipoint-to-multipoint installations with hundreds of displays. Power over Ethernet (PoE) reduces installation costs and time by eliminating the need to hire electricians to install power outlets next to each display. Remote control capabilities via IR and RS232 add a layer of convenience and centralized management, ideal for commercial, educational, and corporate environments.
Use cases
This receiver is the ideal solution for a wide range of professional applications, including:
-
Digital Signage: In shopping centers, airports and stores to display dynamic advertising and informative content.
-
Corporate Video Walls: In boardrooms, receptions and control centers for high-impact presentations and data monitoring.
-
Control and Monitoring Rooms: To display multiple video sources in real time on a large canvas of screens.
-
Hospitality and Entertainment: In sports bars, hotels and stadiums to broadcast live events to multiple synchronized screens.
-
Education: In auditoriums and classrooms to share high-quality educational content in large visual formats.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a transmitter for this receiver to work?
Yes, the 500754-RX is a receiver and requires a compatible MuxLab transmitter to send the HDMI signal over the network.
What is Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
PoE is a technology that allows network cables to carry electrical power. With a PoE network switch, you won't need an external power supply for this receiver, simplifying installation.
Can I create a video wall of any size?
Yes, the system is highly scalable. You can create video wall configurations with hundreds of displays, provided your network bandwidth is sufficient. The configuration is managed through the MuxLab 500812 network controller.
What type of network cable is recommended?
It is recommended to use Category 5e twisted pair cable or, preferably, Category 6 to ensure optimal performance and maximum transmission distance.
