Black Box MCX G2 HDMI Decoder 4K60 Copper

SKU CH-17YA-G2C9W GTIN 822088150756

Decodes 4K60 video over 10-GbE with zero-latency switching, IR, RS-232 and USB 2.0 extension up to 30 km

  • Uncompressed 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 video over IP
  • Zero-latency switching with optional controller
  • Extends AV IR RS-232 and USB 2.0 signals
  • Up to 30 km reach with fiber SFP+ modules
  • Front-panel buttons and OSD simplify setup

What it is and who it is for

The Black Box MCX G2 HDMI Decoder receives 4K60 video, analog audio, RS-232 and USB 2.0 signals over a 10-Gbps Ethernet link. It suits integrators building secure video conferencing, video wall or remote KVM systems that need TAA-compliant hardware. Buyers who need more than 30 km extension or who lack a managed 10-GbE switch cannot use this decoder alone.

Sustained-load behaviour

The decoder delivers uncompressed 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 video with up to 10-bit HDR continuously across the network. Ultra-light compression remains visually lossless for most content during extended sessions. IP switching occurs with zero latency when the optional MCX Gen2 Controller is present, so sustained multi-source workflows do not accumulate delay.

Practical limits of the interface

Copper Ethernet links top out at 10 Gbps, so maximum extension distance is far shorter than the 30 km possible with fiber SFP+ modules. The USB 2.0 extension bandwidth caps peripheral throughput, and RS-232 reaches only standard serial rates. IR and analog audio share the same cable budget, so total concurrent streams are constrained by the 10-Gbps pipe.

Highlights

  • Zero-latency switching with optional controller
  • Extends AV IR RS-232 and USB 2.0 signals
  • Up to 30 km reach with fiber SFP+ modules
  • Front-panel buttons and OSD simplify setup

Questions about this item

How much heat does the MCX G2 decoder generate when running 4K60 video continuously?

The decoder uses ultra-light compression that is lossless for most content, keeping processing load low during all-day 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 operation.

What network infrastructure must I already have for this decoder to function?

A managed 10 Gbps Ethernet switch is required; connect the decoder to the same switch as your encoders and, for IP switching, add the optional MCX Gen2 Controller.

Will this decoder work with my existing analog audio gear and RS-232 control system?

Yes — it extends analog audio and RS-232 alongside HDMI video, USB 2.0 and IR, so older audio and control equipment integrate directly.
