Blustream IP50HD-TX 1080p HDMI Over IP Transmitter With KVM

Blustream IP50HD-TX 1080p HDMI Over IP Transmitter

The Blustream IP50HD-TX HDMI over IP transmitter distributes 1080p video, stereo audio and control signals across a 100Mbps network using H.265 compression. It supports extension distances up to 100m, USB keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) functionality, and an HDMI loop output for a local display or additional equipment.

Choose this transmitter for commercial AV distribution, residential installations or remote computer access with compatible receiving equipment. Unicast operation supports unmanaged networks, while multicast operation accommodates larger managed systems. For a network HDMI distribution system, independent infrared, RS-232 and USB routing helps installers coordinate control alongside video and audio. The local HDMI connection also supports a nearby monitor without sending its picture through the compressed network path.

Analog stereo embedding and breakout provide additional connections for integrating external audio equipment. Power over Ethernet (PoE) lets a compatible switch power the transmitter, while an optional DC adapter supports installations without PoE. High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection (HDCP) 1.4 compliance and Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) management assist source integration. Plan the system around two-channel PCM audio, compatible IP50HD receiving hardware and the network configuration required for the installation.

Key Features

• Full HD transmission: Distribute video at resolutions up to 1080p at 60Hz using H.265 compression.
• Local HDMI monitoring: Connect a nearby display or cascade to additional equipment through the HDMI loop output.
• Flexible distribution: Select network matrix operation or direct one-to-one extension without a network switch.
• Remote computer connectivity: Use the USB Type-B host connection for USB 1.1 KVM applications.
• Independent control routing: Route infrared, RS-232 and USB separately from the combined video and audio stream.
• Stereo audio integration: Embed analog left/right audio or extract stereo audio through dedicated connections.
• Two power options: Operate from a compatible PoE switch or a separately supplied 12V/1A DC adapter.
