AV-receiver Digitus HDMI-IP-extender-ontvanger Full HD 1920x1080

The DIGITUS AV Receiver (model DS-55518) is an HDMI IP extender receiver for distributing Full HD video (1920 x 1080, 60 Hz) over existing network infrastructure. It connects via an RJ-45 port to Cat5e/Cat6/Cat6a/Cat7/Cat8 cables and works with the matching HDMI IP Extender Set (DS-55517) and additional DS-55518 receivers to display the same AV signal on multiple monitors across a local network or through commercial switches.

Advantages

The receiver supports Full HD 1080p/60Hz and HDCP 1.3, provides a video bandwidth of 1.65 Gbps, and accepts a wide range of network cable types for flexible installation. It enables IR pass-through for remote control of the source from the display end and can be used with network switches to scale distribution to up to 253 screens over an IP connection. The device is compact, requires 5V power with low typical consumption (around 8W), and weighs approximately 0.165 kg.

Suitable for

• Extending HDMI Full HD signals to remote displays within a building or campus
• Digital signage systems using multiple monitors
• Conference rooms and meeting spaces requiring centralized AV distribution
• Retail displays and information screens connected via network switches

How to use

Connect the DS-55518 receiver to a display using an HDMI cable and to the network using a supported Cat cable via the RJ-45 port. If using the point-to-point configuration with the DS-55517 transmitter, link both devices directly with Cat6 up to 120 m. For multi-monitor distribution, connect the transmitter to your network switch and add additional DS-55518 receivers on other network ports; the system can then reproduce the same AV content on multiple screens across the network. Use the IR interface to control the source device from the display location if required.

Recommendations

For reliable Full HD transmission, use quality Cat6 or better cables and commercial-grade network switches. Ensure network bandwidth and switch configuration support multicast or the required point-to-multipoint setup when scaling to many displays, and keep cable runs within recommended distances to avoid signal degradation.
