Hall Technologies FHD264-S IP Sender with Audio, RS232 over IP & IR

Overview

The FHD264 is a family of HDMI over LAN Senders (encoders) and receivers (decoders) utilizing advanced video encoding techniques in order to distribute up to 64 Full-HD video signals to hundreds of displays on a simple 1 Gigabit local area network(LAN).  They also extend Serial RS-232 communications and IR remote signals.  HDMI Audio is extracted and available on a convenient 3.5mm stereo jack on both the Sender and the Receiver.  The FHD264-S Sender also provides local HDMI output.

Each device provides a two-line front panel LCD that can be used to easily configure or monitor parameters such as IP settings, multicast group selection, assignment of device names, and more.  This eliminates the usual installation challenges of finding and configuring devices on the network for the first time.  With the front panel LCD, users can see and assign configuration parameters with ease.

The RS-232 serial ports on each unit can be used in SoIP mode (Serial over IP).  This allows 3rd party IP controllers to directly control peripheral equipment via RS-232.  For example if the RS-232 of a receiver is connected to a video projector, you can turn the projector on or off via telnet commands sent to the FHD264 Receiver.

All devices support IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet).  So when connected to a network switch with PoE, no power supply needs to be connected to the FHD264 devices.  A power supply is included for customers that may not have PoE on their network.

The Hall Technologies FHD264-S IP Sender with Audio, RS232 over IP & IR is a versatile and reliable solution for distributing up to 64 Full-HD video signals to multiple displays over a simple 1 Gigabit LAN. This product is perfect for environments such as conference rooms, classrooms, and control rooms where multiple displays need to be connected and controlled.

With advanced video encoding techniques, the FHD264-S ensures high-quality video transmission without any loss of signal. It also extends Serial RS-232 communications and IR remote signals, allowing you to control peripheral equipment directly from your IP controllers. This feature is particularly useful if you need to turn on or off a video projector remotely.

One of the standout features of the FHD264-S is its front panel LCD. This LCD provides a user-friendly interface for easy configuration and monitoring of parameters such as IP settings, multicast group selection, and device names. This eliminates the usual challenges of setting up and configuring devices on a network for the first time. With the front panel LCD, assigning and viewing configuration parameters has never been easier.

Another great feature of the FHD264-S is its support for IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet). This means that when connected to a network switch with PoE, you don't need to connect a separate power supply to the FHD264 devices. However, a power supply is included for customers without PoE on their network.

The FHD264-S comes with a host of other useful features such as the ability to create a virtual video matrix with up to 64 Senders and 250 Receivers, HDMI loop output on the Sender, HDMI audio output on each device using a 3.5mm stereo connector, and fail-safe back-up video designation for automatic redundancy.

Additionally, the FHD264-S supports SD, HD, and Full-HD resolutions, and it comes with a free Windows PC Manager Tool software for easy management and control. The IR extension from the Receiver to the Sender allows for easy switching between channels using the small IR remote controller included with each Receiver.

Overall, the Hall Technologies FHD264-S IP Sender with Audio, RS232 over IP & IR offers a comprehensive solution for distributing high-quality video signals, extending control signals, and providing reliable and robust connectivity. Its user-friendly interface, PoE support, and advanced features make it an ideal choice for any application requiring multi-display video distribution.
