The Tripp Lite B160-101-HDSI HDMI/DVI over IP Gigabit LAN Ethernet Extender Kit extends and distributes HDMI or DVI audio/video, RS-232 serial and IR (infrared) remote signals from the source to the display located up to 328 feet (100 meters) away, which is more than 200 feet farther than a traditional Cat5e/6 solution. By adding a chain of low-cost unmanaged network switches, such as Tripp Lite’s NG5, you can continue extending the distance between source and display up to 328 feet per switch.

The B160-101-HDSI supports video resolutions up to 1920 x 1080 (1080p) at 60 Hz in a point-to-multipoint switch installation. It extends IR control signals that control a source, such as a Blu-ray™ player, to a remote display, as well as RS-232 signals at serial baud rates up to 57600 Bps. The transmitter and receiver units mount to a wall, rack or pole using the including hardware.

Create a multi-in, multi-out installation with up to 64 transmitters and 255 receivers* by including dedicated managed Ethernet network switches** with Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP), such as Tripp Lite’s NSS-G16D2. With a compatible B160-Series receiver, you can send the HDMI or DVI video source (a DVI adapter cable is included) to any analog or digital display, including VGA and DisplayPort™, allowing you to mix and match technologies and use existing monitors. The IGMP-enabled switch will let you manage all connections for centralized control over which sources show on which displays.

*Unmanaged switch installations are limited to two transmitter units. Number of receivers is limited to number of ports remaining on unmanaged switch.

**B160-Series designed for use with dedicated network switch. Connecting to a switch used with other networking equipment will result in degraded or non-functional performance.
