Blustream IP50HD-RX 1080p HDMI Over IP Receiver With KVM

Blustream IP50HD-RX 1080p HDMI Over IP Receiver

The Blustream IP50HD-RX 1080p HDMI over IP receiver delivers video, stereo audio and control connectivity across a 100Mbps network. H.265 compression supports HDMI extension up to 100m, while an integrated scaler accommodates displays with different resolution capabilities. USB keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) functionality supports remote computer access.

Built for commercial and residential AV installations, this receiver supports network matrix distribution or a direct connection to a compatible transmitter. Choose unicast operation for unmanaged networks or multicast distribution through a managed network. For buyers planning a 1080p video distribution system, independent control routing provides flexibility beyond the picture itself. Two USB device ports support remote keyboard and mouse connections, while analog stereo breakout feeds external audio equipment.

Pair the receiver with an IP50HD-TX transmitter and select the network arrangement required for the installation. Power over Ethernet (PoE) supplies power through a compatible switch; an optional local adapter supports installations without PoE. High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) 1.4 compliance and Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) management support source-to-display integration. Audio operation requires two-channel PCM, and the included infrared accessories and mounting hardware support installation.
