Know before you buy
No, the IP200UHD-TX is a transmitter only. You will need to purchase the compatible BLU-IP200UHD-RX receiver separately to complete your system.
Yes, it uses visually lossless compression to distribute 4K HDR UHD signals with a latency of only 1 millisecond, which is virtually one frame. This makes it suitable for applications where real-time responsiveness is critical.
The IP200UHD-TX is designed to operate over a standard 1Gb network. It uses IP Multicast technology, so ensure your network switch supports the necessary protocols for high-bandwidth video distribution.
Yes, the transmitter supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), allowing you to power the unit directly through the network cable if your switch provides PoE. Alternatively, you can use a local power supply if PoE is not available.
Yes, it supports bi-directional IR, RS-232, and USB/KVM signals. This allows you to control your source devices remotely or manage a computer from a distant display location.
Yes, the IP200UHD-TX is designed for advanced video distribution, including the creation of video walls and sophisticated matrix systems, provided you have the corresponding receiver units.
