Important Safety Instructions
Please read and keep the information in the attached safety instructions supplied with the
product before you start using the device.
Introduction
VINX-120-HDMI-ENC and VINX-110-HDMI-DEC encoder/decoder multimedia extenders to
extend HDMI video from a local source to a remote sink. The devices can be connected
either via a direct CATx cable connection or through a Gigabit Ethernet Switch (L3-switch is
necessary) in between. The maximum delivery distance can reach up to 100 m with minimal
latency and employ a quality, proprietary wavelet transform based image compression.
The maximum supported resolution is 3840 x 2160 @ 30Hz with 7.1 audio and scaling
is available on the receiver side with optional image cropping. Optionally, bidirectional
RS-232 signal transmission, USB Mass storage and Human Interface Device (HID*) signal
transmission is also available.
* HID: USB mouse, keyboard, presenter, etc.
Compatible Devices
The signal transmission works only between these Encoder and Decoder devices, other
Lightware devices cannot be connected to the 1GbE LAN (AV input/output) ports.
