Hall Research FHD264-S AV and Control over IP Sender with Extracted Audio, RS232 over IP & IR

Where cutting-edge technology meets professional AV distribution, the FHD264-S AV and Control over IP Sender stands out as a sophisticated solution for transmitting high-resolution Full-HD video signals. This state-of-the-art encoder is part of the FHD264 family, designed to leverage advanced video encoding techniques to distribute up to 64 Full-HD video streams across hundreds of displays via a standard 1 Gigabit LAN. Its innovative design ensures that high-quality, clear, and detailed images are delivered with precision, making it an ideal choice for environments that demand visual excellence.

The FHD264-S Sender is not only a high-tech video distribution tool but also a versatile connectivity hub. It extends Serial RS-232 communications and IR remote signals, ensuring comprehensive control over a variety of devices and systems. With HDMI audio extraction capabilities, the sender provides accessible audio output through a 3.5mm stereo jack, enhancing the audio-visual experience for any setup. Additionally, the sender includes a local HDMI output, offering flexibility for immediate on-site video display.

Each unit within the FHD264 family is equipped with a user-friendly two-line front panel LCD, which simplifies the configuration and monitoring of critical parameters such as IP settings and multicast group selection. This intuitive feature streamlines the installation process, allowing for quick and efficient network integration without the typical setup challenges.

The RS-232 serial ports support SoIP mode (Serial over IP), enabling third-party IP controllers to manage peripheral equipment directly. For instance, a video projector connected to an FHD264 receiver can be powered on or off using telnet commands, offering seamless remote operation.

Adhering to IEEE 802.3af PoE (Power over Ethernet) standards, the FHD264 devices can be powered directly through a PoE-enabled network switch, eliminating the need for separate power supplies. For networks without PoE, a power supply is included, ensuring compatibility and convenience. Optional rack mount hardware is available for organizing up to 12 senders within a 4U rack space, providing a tidy and efficient installation for larger systems.

The FHD264-S Sender is a sophisticated choice for a multitude of applications, including digital signage, meeting rooms, classrooms, transportation hubs, airports, and home theaters. Its advanced features and reliable performance make it a superior alternative for professionals seeking a comprehensive AV and control over IP solution.
