Hall Research HHD264-S HDMI Distribution and Switching over LAN Sender, Extends IR and RS-232 for Control

Explore the advanced capabilities of the HHD264-S HDMI Distribution and Switching over LAN Sender, a sophisticated solution designed to transmit high-definition video signals across your local area network with exceptional clarity and performance. This innovative system leverages the latest H.264 encoding technology, allowing you to customize bit-rates to optimize the balance between video quality and network bandwidth.

The HHD264-S is part of a comprehensive family of encoders and decoders that work seamlessly to distribute multiple Full HD video streams on your LAN. Whether you're setting up digital signage, configuring a meeting room, or enhancing a home theater, this system delivers content with precision and flexibility.

One of the standout features of the HHD264-S is its Dynamic Virtual Matrix (DVM) technology, developed by Hall Research. This technology enables real-time switching of video feeds, allowing any receiver on the network to display video from any sender. Switching between sources is made effortless through various methods, including:
- Dip Switches on each device for a straightforward set-and-forget configuration.
- A built-in WebGUI accessible from any web browser for intuitive control.
- Telnet Commands, which are ideal for integration with third-party control systems.
- Hall Research's free Manager Tool software, providing a comprehensive PC-based management platform.

The system's versatility extends to its control capabilities, with the extension of IR control signals and bi-directional RS-232 communication, ensuring that you can manage your devices and their connected equipment with ease.

For connectivity, the HHD264-S supports a range of operational modes to suit any application. These include point-to-point setups for direct connections, point-to-many for broadcasting to multiple receivers, and many-to-many configurations for full matrix operation. The system is designed to work over CAT5e/6 cables, supporting distances of up to 120 meters (400ft), ensuring reliable performance even in extensive installations.

While a dedicated Gigabit (1000 BaseT) network is recommended for environments with multiple senders and receivers, the HHD264-S maintains compatibility with slower 100 BaseT networks, accommodating a variety of infrastructure scenarios.

Additionally, the PoE (-PD) versions of these devices offer flexibility in power options. They can be powered through PoE-enabled routers or, if necessary, with the included power supply, ensuring that your setup can be tailored to your specific power requirements.

The HHD264-S HDMI Distribution and Switching over LAN Sender is an ideal choice for a wide array of applications, including educational settings, transportation hubs, and professional environments, delivering high-quality video content where and when you need it.
