HDMI-over-IP Extender Receiver

The Black Box VX-HDMI-HDIP-RX receives 1080p HDMI video and multi-channel audio over a Gigabit Ethernet network at distances up to 328 feet. It supports high-definition surround formats including Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio up to 7.1 channels at 192 kHz. Power is supplied through PoE compliant with IEEE 802.3at Class 4, removing the need for an external adapter.

Replacing Direct HDMI Cabling

This receiver replaces point-to-point HDMI runs when the source and display are separated by more than a standard cable length. The jump is worth it for installations that require routing through existing network infrastructure or that need to distribute one source to multiple screens across a building. It also enables video wall configurations up to 8x8 displays when paired with compatible transmitters and the MediaCento Controller.

Installations Using MediaCento Ecosystem

The unit suits integrators building matrix switching or video wall systems within the MediaCento product family, especially where front-panel setup without software is preferred. It is not suited for applications requiring 4K resolution pass-through, for standalone point-to-point extension without a managed network switch, or for environments outside the 0 to 50 °C operating temperature range.

Questions about this item

What are the exact dimensions and weight of the receiver so I can confirm it fits my rack or shelf?

The unit measures 1.26 inches high by 7.09 inches wide by 3.86 inches deep and weighs 1.04 lbs.

How do I set the video channel on the front panel and what is the common mistake to avoid?

Use the rotary switch to select one of 16 hex channels (0–F); both the paired transmitter and this receiver must be set to the identical channel or no signal will pass.

Does the receiver need an external power supply or can it run entirely from the network cable?

It supports PoE under IEEE 802.3at Class 4 at 10.5 W, so a compatible switch can power it without the 5 VDC 3 A adapter.
