PITTSBURGH, PA – November 08, 2017 – Black Box, a leading digital solutions provider of high-performance KVM, switching solutions, and professional AV signal distribution and extension, today announced enhancements to its MediaCento AV-over-IP solution. The upgraded IPX 4K video distribution platform enables users to stream 4K HDMI video, audio, USB, serial and IR signals to distant screens over an existing Ethernet network.
The system can be used for point-to-point and multicast transmissions, virtual matrix switching and video walls up to eight displays by eight displays. With current Ethernet technology and TCP/IP protocols, it can send 4K UHD video to an existing Gigabit Ethernet network. It also supports 4K to 1080p downscaling to ensure that videos can still be displayed on a 1080p display.
Other benefits of the new MediaCento include:
“The enhanced MediaCento is a versatile, affordable 4K UHD AV-over-IP product that can be used in applications ranging from hospitality to corporate multi-room solutions,” said Tom Strade, VP of Product Innovation and Marketing at Black Box. “With a simple transmitter and receiver, users can instantly transmit signals to remote displays as far as their network goes.”
The MediaCento IPX 4K transmitter and receiver are now available on BlackBox.com. To learn more about this solution, and which products can help install it, contact Black Box Technical Support at 877-877-2269.
