Lindy 4K HDMI & USB over IP Extender AV-receiver

The Lindy 4K HDMI & USB over IP Extender Receiver is an AV receiver that extends HDMI 4K (3840x2160p60Hz 4:2:0) or VGA (up to 1920x1200) video signals over a Gigabit IP network. It connects to a transmitter unit (MPN 38266 sold separately) to create point-to-point links up to 100 m via Cat6 cabling, or can be used in point-to-multipoint installations through a Gigabit switch to support multi-receiver setups and Video Wall applications. The unit also extends USB 2.0 (including USB HID for KVM control), bidirectional analog audio, bidirectional IR, and RS-232 signals, and is HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2/1.4 compliant.

Advantages

The receiver supports high-resolution 4K video distribution over standard Gigabit networks and allows remote control of the source device through extended USB and HID interfaces. It provides additional audio options including two separate analog channels and an S/PDIF optical output for digital audio connections. The built-in bidirectional IR repeater and RS-232 support enable centralized control and integration with control-room or security systems. Compact dimensions and Cat6 compatibility simplify installation in AV, retail, and industrial environments.

How to use

Connect the receiver to a corresponding Lindy transmitter unit (MPN 38266) using standard Cat6 cable for point-to-point installations up to 100 m. For multi-receiver or Video Wall setups, connect transmitter and receivers via a Gigabit Ethernet switch that supports 8 kB jumbo frames on the same private network. Attach HDMI source and display devices to the transmitter and receiver respectively, plug USB peripherals into the USB Type-A ports for remote control or KVM functions, and connect audio devices to the provided analog and optical ports as required. Configure network and display settings on the source and target devices as needed; ensure HDCP and HDMI settings on source devices match receiver capabilities.

Recommendations

Use Cat6 cabling and a dedicated Gigabit switch (supporting jumbo frames) for multi-receiver or Video Wall installations. Place the transmitter and receivers on a secure private network for control-room or security applications. Verify HDCP compatibility of connected sources and displays and ensure adequate power (5 V, 4 A) and ventilation for reliable operation.
