Ideal for a number of applications.

MediaCento IPX PoE Multicast is perfect for any place you want to use your Ethernet network for HD video distribution instead of running expensive dedicated links from a source to screens.

Use it for:

  • Digital signage applications where you have screens in different buildings or stores.
  • Hospital campuses where you need to share high-quality medical imaging video.
  • Streaming video to classrooms in schools or universities.
  • Multicasting video in command and control room setups.
  • Corporate video sharing and training applications.

…or anywhere you want to use an existing LAN for video extension.

 

Easy to integrate into your network.

Because the MediaCento IPX PoE Multicast components install directly into your existing LAN infrastructure, integration is easy.

The technology uses existing standards-based Ethernet technology and TCP/IP protocols, and it works in point-to-point or point-to-multipoint configurations. Just plug in as many receivers as you need at your remote screens.

Plus, there’s no need to configure any IP settings. Simply use rotary switches to set the transmitter and receivers to the same channel and all IP multicasting settings are automatically configured; then just connect your source, your display(s), and a network switch. It’s ready to go!

For the best performance, be sure to use MediaCento IPX PoE Multicast with a Layer 2 or 3 switch that has IGMP capabilities.
