AV-receiver Lindy HDMI en IR over IP extender receiver 1920x1080

The Lindy HDMI and IR over IP receiver extends HDMI signals over a local network, enabling point-to-point links or larger distributed systems when used with compatible transmitters (model 38398) and network equipment. It offers a scalable, cost-effective method to deliver Full HD video and IR control across buildings or multiple rooms by adding receivers and switches as needed.

Advantages

This HDMI over IP receiver supports Full HD 1920x1080@60Hz with 4:4:4 8-bit color and uses H.265 compression for efficient bandwidth usage. It allows scalable distribution via standard Cat.6 cabling up to 150 m in direct point-to-point setups and can be expanded through network switches for larger installations. An included IR emitter and receiver cable enables remote control of source equipment over the network.

Key specifications

• Supported resolution: up to 1920x1080 @60Hz, 4:4:4, 8bit
• Video compression: H.265
• Connection types: HDMI input/output via network (receiver unit)
• Cable: Cat.6 for point-to-point up to 150 m
• Expandability: supports multi-receiver distribution via network switches (up to 3 layers of network equipment)
• IR control: includes IR emitter and IR receiver cable
• Recommended network: use a dedicated network for larger installations

How to use

Install the receiver on the display end and connect it to the local network. For a direct point-to-point link, connect transmitter and receiver with Cat.6 cable (up to 150 m). For larger distributions, connect transmitter and multiple receivers through network switches, observing the recommended limit of up to three network equipment layers. Connect the IR emitter to the receiver and position the IR receiver near the remote control source to enable remote operation of the HDMI source over the network.

Recommendations

For reliable performance in multi-receiver or facility-wide deployments, use a dedicated network segment and quality Cat.6 cabling. Verify network switch capacity and configure QoS if available to prioritise H.265 video traffic.
