HD KVM over IP Receiver – HDMI, USB, RS-232, IR & Audio over Gigabit LAN (EXT-HDKVM-LANRX)

EXT-HDKVM-LANRX

The Gefen EXT-HDKVM-LANRX is the receiver unit for a powerful and flexible HD KVM and AV over IP solution, designed to grant remote access to your high-definition sources over a Gigabit Local Area Network. This receiver extends HDMI video at resolutions up to 1080p Full HD and 1920x1200 (WUXGA), along with USB 2.0, RS-232, IR, and 2-way audio signals up to 330 feet (100 meters) from any sender unit on the network. As part of a massively scalable video over IP system, it can be used in a virtual matrix of over 65,000 sender and receiver units, making it the perfect solution for large-scale remote workstation access and professional IP video distribution for digital signage applications.

⚠️Comes with both Sender and Receiver

Massively Scalable Virtual Matrix: Allows for flexible and large-scale IP video distribution, supporting a network of just over 65,000 Sender and Receiver units, depending on network bandwidth.

 

Full HDMI Feature Support: Ensures broad compatibility with HDCP-compliant content , Deep Color , Lip-Sync pass-through, and 7.1 channel LPCM, Dolby® TrueHD, and DTS-HD Master Audio™ digital audio.

 

High-Speed USB 2.0 KVM Extension: Provides seamless interactivity with backward-compatible USB 2.0, supporting data rates up to 480 Mbps for keyboards, mice, and other devices.

 

Integrated Receiver Network Switch: A built-in three-port Gigabit Ethernet switch on the Receiver unit allows for the direct connection of computers or other IP-enabled devices, simplifying installation.

 

Intuitive Web Interface: Facilitates simple setup, operation, and field firmware upgrades through a built-in, browser-based web server.

How It Works

The Gefen HD KVM over IP system operates with two main components: a Sender unit and one or more Receiver units. First, connect your HDMI source and its corresponding USB (for KVM extension), RS-232, and audio interfaces to the Sender unit. At the remote location, connect your Hi-Def display, USB keyboard and mouse, and other required peripherals to the Receiver unit. The Sender and Receiver are then linked via a Gigabit Local Area Network, using CAT-5e or better cable up to 330 feet (100 meters) long. By adding multiple Senders and Receivers to the network, you can create a flexible and massively scalable 'virtual matrix,' allowing any connected workstation to seamlessly switch and take control of any source on the AV over IP network using the receiver's dedicated switch button or the intuitive web interface.
