Seamless Control and KVM

Not only does this transmitter handle video, but it also supports bi-directional IR, RS-232, and USB 1.1 for KVM. This means you can control your devices remotely, all while ensuring that the signal remains crisp and stable. No need for multiple systems or complicated setups—the IP50HD-TX simplifies everything into one neat package.

Unicast and Multicast Transmission Options

The flexibility of the Blustream IP50HD-TX comes in two distinct transmission modes: unicast and multicast. For smaller, unmanaged networks, unicast transmission works perfectly.

Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

One of the standout features of this transmitter is its ability to be powered via PoE (Power over Ethernet). This makes installation even easier, as you can power the IP50HD-TX directly through the network switch without needing an extra power supply. If your switch doesn’t support PoE, no worries—it also supports a local 12V power supply, which is included for your convenience.

Integration and Compatibility

With its HDMI loop-out feature, the Blustream IP50HD-TX can easily integrate with local displays or be cascaded to multiple devices. This gives you the flexibility to expand your system and ensure that your video and control signals are reaching all the right places.

Ideal for Various Setups

Whether you're running a small residential network or a large-scale commercial system, the Blustream IP50HD-TX adapts to your needs. Its matrix distribution mode is perfect for a 100Mbps network switch, while the one-to-one HDMI extender mode allows for simpler, direct connections without the need for a network switch.

Incredible Performance and Low Latency

With a latency of just 3 frames (less than 120ms, depending on compression and scaling), this transmitter ensures minimal delay, making it ideal for applications that require real-time video, such as surveillance systems or interactive displays. The HDMI loop-out offers zero latency, ensuring smooth and immediate video output.

Versatile and Reliable

This sleek device is built for reliability, operating in temperatures from 32°F to 104°F (0°C to 40°C), and it's easy to mount with the included mounting kit. Whether it's used in a climate-controlled room or an environment with fluctuating temperatures, the Blustream IP50HD-TX can handle it.
