MediaCento IPX PoE Multicast is ideal for distributing digital signage content or other HD video and audio across an Ethernet network. There's no need to run expensive dedicated links from a back room to digital signage in lobbies.

The extender transmits up to 330 feet (100 m) per link, but goes up to 660 feet (200 m) with the network switch in the middle. You can even use fiber with media converters to go several miles if needed. Its signal is completely digital from end to end, so your digital content is never compromised.

This kit combines everything you need to get started with a networked signage system. The network switch, PoE+ Gigabit Managed Switch Eco, 10-port, offers the following features that make it a perfect fit within the MediaCento configuration:
- Full SNMP management plus Web-based management.
- Support for VLAN and QoS.
- Supports IEEE 802.3af PoE port-based network access control.

<b>Lossless compression for HD extension.</b>
MediaCento IPX PoE Multicast features IGMP support and packetizes signals so all your HD source content can be delivered anywhere you want over Ethernet wiring.

It works in point-to-point or point-to-multipoint configurations. The included switch supports up to nine receivers with one transmitter.

Featuring visually lossless compression, the MediaCento IPX PoE Multicast units transmit broadcast-quality video and audio, and support Full 1080p resolution no matter what the distance or the number of screens, as well as all common PC resolutions (XGA, SXGA, UXGA, WSXGA) up to 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz.

<b>Extremely easy to set up and use.</b>
MediaCento IPX PoE Multicast also supports RS-232 for configuration and control, and for extending bidirectional control signals. Use this serial link to switch screens on or off.

There's no need to configure any IP settings (although more experienced users can do that if needed). Simply use rotary switches to set the transmitter and receivers to the same multicast channel and all IP multicasting settings are automatically configured; then just connect your source, your display(s), and the network switch. It's ready to go!

<b>PoE powered</b>
The MediaCento IPX PoE series can be powered using standard PoE network technology. The PoE network switch included in the kit completely eliminates the need for external power supplies, making the installation even easier.
