MuxLab IMU-500777-RX - 4K HDMI/USB Wallplate Receiver over IP
The MuxLab IMU-500777-RX is a high-performance receiver designed for integration into Audio and Video over IP distribution systems. This versatile wallplate device receives 4K HDMI video, audio, and USB, RS-232, and IR data signals over a local IP network. Utilizing low-latency JPEG 2000 compression, it ensures high-quality visual transmission up to 100 meters using a single Cat5e/6 cable. Its PoE (Power over Ethernet) capability greatly simplifies installation by eliminating the need for a local power supply, making it an ideal solution for professional, educational, and commercial environments where aesthetics and functionality are paramount.
Main features
-
4K over IP Reception: Receives HDMI video signals up to 4K (3840x2160) at 30Hz over a standard Ethernet network.
-
Low Latency: Thanks to JPEG 2000 compression technology, the latency between the transmitter and receiver is only 16 milliseconds, guaranteeing a smooth and almost real-time experience.
-
KVM and Control Extension: It has four USB 2.0 ports for connecting peripherals such as keyboards, mice, webcams, or storage drives. It also features RS-232 and IR ports for bidirectional device control.
-
Audio Connectivity: It incorporates a stereo analog audio output (3.5 mm minijack) for extracting audio from the HDMI signal, allowing its connection to external sound systems.
-
PoE Power: Compatible with the PoE standard (IEEE 802.3af), it can receive power directly from a PoE network switch, simplifying installation and reducing cable clutter. It also supports an optional external power supply (500993).
-
Wall Plate Design: Its wall plate format allows for discreet and elegant installation on walls, floor boxes or furniture, integrating perfectly into any environment.
Benefits for the integrator and the user
This receiver is designed to make life easier for both AV integrators and end users. For installers, PoE power and the use of standard network cabling dramatically reduce installation time and cost. Control via RS-232 and IR enables seamless integration with room automation systems. For the user, the IMU-500777-RX offers a robust and reliable solution for remotely accessing and controlling video sources and USB devices with exceptional image quality and near-instantaneous response, ideal for interactive presentations, equipment monitoring, and control.
Use cases
The MuxLab IMU-500777-RX is an exceptionally versatile solution for a wide range of professional applications:
-
Conference rooms and classrooms: Allows you to connect a computer or media player from a central rack to an interactive screen or projector in the room, providing touch control and connection of local USB peripherals.
-
Digital Signage Systems: Facilitates the distribution of 4K video content to multiple screens spread throughout a building, such as in shopping centers, airports or hospitals, all managed from a single location.
-
Control and monitoring centers: Ideal for extending video and KVM signals to operator workstations, allowing remote control of servers and critical equipment located in a secure room.
-
High-end residential installations: Allows distribution of signals from centralized video sources (decoders, consoles) to any television in the home without loss of quality.
Frequently Asked Questions
What type of transmitter do I need for this receiver?
This receiver is compatible with MuxLab HDMI/USB over IP PoE transmitters, such as the 500777-TX model, to create a point-to-point or multipoint system.
Can I connect multiple receivers to a single transmitter?
Yes, the system is scalable. Using a managed Gigabit network switch, you can send the signal from a single transmitter to multiple receivers simultaneously.
What is the maximum resolution it supports?
It supports HDMI video resolutions up to 4K (3840x2160) at 30Hz.
Is it necessary to configure the network in any special way?
For optimal performance, especially in multipoint configurations, it is recommended to use a Gigabit Ethernet network switch that supports IGMP Snooping and Jumbo Frames.
Is the PoE power supply sufficient for the connected USB devices?
Yes, PoE power provides power to both the receiver and the USB 2.0 ports for most standard peripherals such as keyboards, mice, or USB flash drives.
