The Intelix INT-IPEX1000 series extenders are designed to distribute an HDMI formatted video signal from a single source to multiple displays, such as a digital signage environment. These extenders use parts of the link layer and network layer of the OSI model to distribute the video signal.
The INT-IPEX1002 receives the multicast packet stream on the LAN input and decodes the M-JPEG video back to an HDMI formatted video stream.
While the INT-IPEX1000 series extenders use Ethernet switches to distribute a video signal to multiple displays, these devices must be installed on their own dedicated network infrastructure.
