This listing is for FHD264-R only.
Use description below asa general
reference.
The versatile FHD264 from Hall Research is a family of
HDMI over LAN Senders (encoders) and Receivers (decoders)
that utilizes advanced video encoding techniques to
effectively distribute up to 64 Full-HD video signals to
hundreds of multiple displays via a simple 1 Gigabit local
area network (LAN). These high-quality units also extend
Serial RS-232 communications as well as bi-directional IR
remote signals. The HDMI Audio is extracted and available
on a convenient 3.5mm stereo jack on both the Sender and
the Receiver. This unique FHD264-S Sender also provides
local HDMI output.
Each of the devices supplies a two-line front panel LCD
that can be effortlessly used to easily configure or
monitor parameters such as IP settings, multicast group
selection, assignment of device names, and lots more. This
attribute makes it possible to avoid the usual installation
challenges of finding and configuring devices used on the
network for the first time. By using the front panel LCD,
it is possible for users to see and assign configuration
parameters hassle-free.
The RS-232 serial ports on each unit can be used ideally
in SoIP mode (Serial over IP). This usage permits 3rd party
IP controllers to control peripheral equipment via RS-232
directly. For instance, if the RS-232 of a receiver is
connected uniquely to a video projector, you can
effortlessly turn the projector on or off via telnet
commands sent to the FHD264 Receiver.
Each of the devices supports IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power
over Ethernet). So whenever they are connected securely to
a network switch with PoE, there is no need to connect the
FHD264 devices to a power supply. A power supply unit is
present in the pack for customers that may not have PoE on
their network.
The FHD264-R Receivers has the capacity for decoding the
video from any Sender on the Local area network (LAN). It
is possible to switch the Receiver between Senders quickly.
This switch can be possible in several ways by:
- Using the front panel LCD and push buttons
- Using the supplied IR Remote Control
- Browsing to the WebGUI in each unit
- Telnet Commands (ideal for third-party control of
switching)
- Windows PC application: DVM Manager Toolâ„¢ (free)
- CNT-IP-264 (Global Video-over-IP Controller - sold
separately)
The Receivers include an IR remote controller for
switching among Sender channels (multicast groups). Users
can quickly change the monitor to another source using this
IR remote in installations such as sports bars, etc. Also,
because the FHD264 extends IR signals, users can
effortlessly control sources such as video players using
the player's IR remote. This unique control implies that
from the Receiver location (at the TV) it is possible for
you to use the included IR remote to switch the video to
the desired Sender, then you can use the IR remote of
whatever unit connected to the sender.
Receivers also offer unique fail-safe automatic video
routing and redundancy. In case the receiver is not
detecting any video on its currently assigned channel, it
will automatically switch to an alternate channel set and
defined by the user. It can also automatically turn back to
the original multicast channel whenever the video is
detected again. FHD264 is useful in applications that are
used in digital signage, meeting rooms, classrooms, bus &
metro stations, airports, home theater, and more.
