AVPro Edge MXNet 1G AV-over-IP Encoder/Decoder - Downmixing Encoder/Transmitter

AVPro Edge MXNet 1G AV-over-IP Encoder/Decoder

The AVPro Edge MXNet 1G AV-over-IP Encoder/Decoder family distributes HDMI video, audio, USB, IR, and RS-232 across Gigabit Ethernet networks. This umbrella listing covers three verified configurations: the AC-MXNET-1G-E encoder, AC-MXNET-1G-AVDM-E downmixing encoder, and AC-MXNET-1G-D decoder.

Built for commercial AV distribution, digital signage, monitoring systems, video walls, and multi-room installations, MXNet 1G endpoints use multicast networking over Cat5e or better cabling. An SFP slot supports compatible fiber modules for longer transmission distances. The encoders provide source-side HDMI and USB host connectivity, while the decoder converts network streams back to HDMI for display endpoints.

All three models use proprietary M-JPEG-based processing with 16ms latency at 60Hz and support video through 4K at 30Hz according to current manufacturer specifications. PoE, bidirectional IR, RS-232, USB/KVM functionality, rack or furniture mounting, and MXNet MENTOR management support professional integration. The AVDM encoder additionally downmixes supported multichannel audio into balanced stereo.

Available Configurations

• AC-MXNET-1G-E: Standard encoder/transmitter with HDMI input and loop output, balanced audio output, analog audio input, USB host connectivity, and network AV encoding.
• AC-MXNET-1G-AVDM-E: Encoder/transmitter with multichannel audio downmixing for installations requiring a separate balanced stereo output.
• AC-MXNET-1G-D: Decoder/receiver with HDMI output, analog stereo output, dual USB Type-A device ports, and network AV decoding.

Key Features

• Three Endpoint Options: Choose a standard encoder, audio-downmixing encoder, or decoder within one MXNet 1G product family.
• 4K Network Video: Current manufacturer specifications support encoded and decoded video through 4K at 30Hz.
• Low-Latency Processing: Proprietary M-JPEG-based transport operates with 16ms latency at 60Hz.
• Copper or Fiber Infrastructure: Extends signals over Cat5e or better cabling and supports optional SFP fiber modules for longer runs.
• USB and KVM Support: Routes HID-compliant keyboard and mouse signals between compatible encoder and decoder endpoints.
• Integrated Control: Bidirectional IR and RS-232 transport allows control signals to share the AV-over-IP network.
• Audio Downmixing Option: The AC-MXNET-1G-AVDM-E converts supported multichannel audio into balanced two-channel analog audio while preserving multichannel HDMI audio.
• Professional Installation: PoE, OLED Data Window functionality, MXNet MENTOR management, and rack or furniture mounting simplify system integration.
