The B160-001-DPSI DisplayPort over IP Extender Transmitter works with a Tripp Lite B160-Series receiver (sold separately) to extend and distribute DisplayPort audio/video, RS-232 serial and IR (infrared) remote signals from the source to the display located up to 328 feet (100 meters) away, which is more than 200 feet farther than a traditional Cat5e/6 solution. By adding a chain of low-cost unmanaged network switches, such as Tripp Lite's NG5, you can continue extending the distance between source and display up to 328 feet per switch. The B160-001-DPSI displays a single source on a single display or distributes a single signal to multiple displays. Create a multi-in, multi-out installation with up to 64 transmitters and 255 receivers* by connecting dedicated managed Ethernet network switches** with Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP), such as Tripp Lite's NSS-G16D2. With a compatible B160-Series receiver, you can send the DisplayPort video source to any analog or digital display, including HDMI and VGA, allowing you to mix and match technologies and use existing monitors. An IGMP-enabled switch will let you manage all connections for centralized control over which sources show on which displays. The B160-001-DPSI supports video resolutions up to 1080i, though it's limited to the maximum resolution of the receiver. It mounts to a wall, rack or pole using the included hardware. An HDMI output port allows connection of a local display. *Unmanaged switch installations are limited to two transmitter units. Number of receivers is limited to number of ports remaining on unmanaged switch. **B160-Series designed for use with dedicated network switch. Connecting to a switch used with other networking equipment will result in degraded or non-functional performance.
