Rack to Endpoint
If your company uses a rack of source devices, whether it be computer servers, DVD players or other hardware, RK8-HDX-ULT allows you to run all of those components into one extension box that supports up to eight inputs/outputs on one power supply. In this example, source signals are being routed from a company rack through RK8-HDX-ULT to multiple displays. The rack utilizes SmartAVI's HDX-ULT-RX receiver unit at the end point to convert the CAT-5e/6 feed back into an HDMI signal.
Receivers
SmartAVI's HDX-ULT-RX Receiver is an innovative solution to extending any HDMI signal – be it a gaming console, Blu-ray player, computer, etc. – over inexpensive CAT-5e/6 STP cabling up to 450 feet away to one remote display and one local screen for realtime monitoring of content. This is the perfect solution for broadcasting high-definition media easily and inexpensively from a source to display screen for customers to view while keeping the CPU in a remote, secure location such as a computer room or back office of a business.
Utilizing HDX-ULT-RX, users can monitor what's being shown to customers in real-time via a local display while users retain full control over the CPU or HDMI source, accessible only by key personnel. HDX-ULT-RX is a compact unit that is easily integrated into a digital display network in a retail store, bar/lounge or other venue. The Receiver unit is small and light, which makes inclusion into infrastructure very simple.
