The XTENDEX® HDMI Extender Over IP via Fiber Optic Cable transmits digital video, embedded audio, and IR signals up to 24.8 miles (40 kilometers) away from an HDMI source using a single LC singlemode fiber optic strand or 984 feet (300 meters) using OM3 LC multimode fiber optic cable.
Each HDMI Extender Over IP consists of a local unit that connects to an HDMI source and also supplies video to a local monitor, and a remote unit that connects to an HDMI display. The local and remote units can be connected together for a Point-to-Point connection via Fiber Optic Cable or a Point-to-Many connection via a network switch. Support for multiple transmitters requires a managed network switch.

- Signal transmission via single-strand LC fiber optic cable.
- Using singlemode 9-micron cable, extend to 24.8 miles (40 km).
- Using 50-micron OM3 (or better) multimode cable, extend to 984 feet (300 meters).
- Supports HDTV resolutions to 1080p.
- Cascade network switches to extend the length longer distances.
- Up to three switches can be cascaded.
- HDMI features supported:
- HDMI 1.3
- 36-bit Deep Color
- RGB, YCbCr 4:4:4, and YCbCr 4:2:2
- LPCM
- Bandwidth up to 4.46 Gbps
- HDCP 1.4 compliant.
- Full Infrared Remote (IR) control of HDMI source from remote HDTV using existing source remote control.
- For a point-to-many connection, a standalone network with an unmanaged SFP network switch, hub, or router can be used instead of a managed SFP network switch.
- Easily expandable. Add remote units as you add monitors.
- Up to 253 receivers supported.
- It is not recommended to use any other network devices on this standalone network as it may cause degradation in performance.
- Support for multiple transmitters (many-to-many connection) requires a managed SFP switch with VLAN support. Standard LAN switches can only support one transmitter.
- The managed SFP switch must support port-based IEEE 802.1Q VLAN.
- Each VLAN acts as a separate HDMI Over IP Channel on the network.
- Each VLAN channel supports one transmitter.
- Number of local and remote units that can be used is dependent on the backplane bandwidth of the switch.
- Plug and play installation allows receivers to find the transmitters automatically on the same subnet.
- Local and remote units must be in the same LAN. The units do not support WAN connections.
- Buffered HDMI input loop-through.
- Built-in default EDID table.
- Cables can be installed in conduit prior to extender installation.
- Integrated mounting brackets for easy surface/wall mounting.
