What this encoder does
The Black Box MCX G2 HDMI Single Encoder captures an HDMI source at 4K60 and transports it over a 10-Gbps Ethernet network. It also extends analog audio, RS-232 control and USB 2.0 signals to connected decoders. The unit is designed for integrators building distributed AV, video-wall or remote KVM systems.
Network distance and compression
Video is delivered with ultra-light compression that is lossless for most content and zero latency when used with the optional MCX Gen2 Controller. Copper links follow standard Ethernet reach while fiber SFP+ modules can extend the path up to 30 km depending on the module and fiber type chosen.
The spec that decides fit
Uncompressed 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 transport with up to 10-bit HDR over Software-Defined Video over Ethernet is the defining capability. If the installation requires a different colour sampling, lower bandwidth or a non-Ethernet transport, this encoder is not the right part.

Questions about this item
Which MCX Gen2 encoder model supports HDMI 4K60 input with 10-Gbps Ethernet and analog audio?
The 822088150732 is a single HDMI encoder that accepts 4K60 signals and connects via 10-Gbps Ethernet while also providing analog audio paths.
What does the 4K60 4:4:4 specification mean for video quality on a live production network?
It delivers uncompressed 4K at 60 Hz with full 4:4:4 chroma and up to 10-bit HDR so every pixel arrives identical to the source without frame drops.
How far can the 10-GbE link reach when using fiber SFP+ modules?
The encoder extends up to 30 km over fiber; the exact distance depends on the specific SFP+ module and fiber type installed.
