Lumens OIP-N40E - AV-over-IP-NDI-HX-1080P-encoder

Traditional AV setups often struggle with long cable runs, signal degradation, and complex routing. The Lumens OIP-N40E solves these challenges by converting HDMI video and audio into NDI HX3 streams, enabling flexible distribution over standard IP networks. This encoder is ideal for live production, education, corporate, and house of worship environments where low latency and high quality are essential.

Who is it for

The OIP-N40E is perfect for AV integrators, live event producers, and IT teams needing to integrate HDMI sources into NDI-based workflows. It suits anyone looking to replace point-to-point HDMI extenders with scalable, network-based AV distribution.

Main features

• Encodes HDMI up to 1080p60 into NDI HX3 for ultra-low latency streaming
• Supports H.264 and H.265 for non-NDI streams (SRT, RTMP, RTSP)
• PoE (802.3af) support allows single-cable power and data
• Embedded audio and 3.5mm line in/out for flexible audio routing
• Web UI and RS-232 for easy configuration and control
• Tally light support for live production cues
• PTZ control via NDI for remote camera management
