MuxLab IMU-500762-RX - HDMI over IP H.264/H.265 Receiver with PoE
The MuxLab IMU-500762-RX is a high-performance HDMI-over-IP receiver designed to extend high-quality audio and video signals over an Ethernet network. This device is the ideal solution for professional audiovisual installations requiring flexibility, scalability, and efficient transmission, enabling the distribution of content from an HDMI source to a remote display with exceptional image quality.
Thanks to its compatibility with H.264 and H.265 video compression codecs, the receiver optimizes bandwidth usage without compromising visual quality. It can receive video streams and upscale them to resolutions up to 4K at 60Hz (4:4:4) , ensuring a sharp and detailed image on the latest monitors and projectors. Even if the original source is 1080p, this receiver can upscale the signal to 4K displays. Its low latency, approximately 200 ms in low-latency mode with H.265, ensures proper synchronization in most applications.
Flexibility is one of its strengths. It can operate in point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multipoint-to-multipoint configurations, allowing for everything from simple signal extensions to complex video distribution systems and video walls. The transmission range is up to 100 meters using standard Cat5e/6 cable through a network switch, but its capacity becomes virtually unlimited when transmitting over LAN, Wi-Fi, or the internet.
Powering the device is greatly simplified thanks to PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology, which allows the receiver to be powered directly through the network cable when connected to a PoE switch, eliminating the need for an external power adapter and facilitating a clean and tidy installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a compatible transmitter for this receiver to work?
Yes, this is a receiver and must be used in conjunction with a compatible MuxLab transmitter (such as models 500762-TX, 500763-TX or 500764-TX) to extend an HDMI signal.
Can I connect multiple receivers to a single transmitter?
Yes, the system supports point-to-multipoint configurations, allowing you to distribute the signal from a single transmitter to multiple receivers via a network switch.
What type of cable should I use?
Cat5e or Cat6 twisted-pair cable is recommended for distances up to 100 meters. In environments with high electrical noise, STP cable should be used.
Is the power supply included?
The device is designed to be powered by PoE. If you do not have a PoE switch, an optional power adapter (model 500993) can be purchased separately.
