The HD over IP w/ RS-232 and 2-way IR extends HDMI, RS-232, and bi-directional IR over a Gigabit Local Area Network. Resolutions up to 1080p Full HD and 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA), HDCP, Deep Color, 7.1 channel High Bit Rate digital audio, and Lip-Sync pass-through are supported. The Sender and Receiver units can be automatically or manually configured to unique IP addresses to allow the connection of multiple Senders and Receivers to the same network. Multiple Receiver units can simultaneously connect to any Sender unit within the network including the Gefen KVM over LAN products with HDMI, DVI, or VGA video, to create a virtual crosspoint matrix of 256 Senders and a theoretical limit of just over 65,000 units total, depending on the network bandwidth and number of ports on the network switch (see Notes 1 and 2).
