Name: 1080P60 H.265 AV over IP KVM Encoder
Brand: KanexPro
SKU: AVO-IP265HDK-ENC

Question 1

What color depth does the AVO-IP265HDK-ENC accept on its HDMI input?

Accepted Answer

The AVO-IP265HDK-ENC accepts 8-bit, 10-bit, or 12-bit input at 1080p@60Hz. Its output is 8-bit.

Question 2

What audio format and sample rates does the AVO-IP265HDK-ENC handle?

Accepted Answer

It handles LPCM 2.0CH at 32, 44.1, or 48 kHz, with audio embedding and extraction.

Question 3

What control methods can drive the AVO-IP265HDK-ENC?

Accepted Answer

It can be controlled by IR, RS-232, TCP/IP, Web GUI, and a Controller Box.

Question 4

Can the AVO-IP265HDK-ENC do matrix switching without a Controller Box?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The AVO-IP265HDK-ENC supports single-machine control, so you can perform matrix switching using local IR or RS-232 without a Controller Box.

Question 5

How is the AVO-IP265HDK-ENC powered?

Accepted Answer

It can be powered by the included DC 12V/1A locking adapter, or by PoE (802.3af Class 3, PD mode) from the network switch. When the switch supplies PoE, the DC adapter is not needed.

Question 6

What must the network switch support for the AVO-IP265HDK-ENC?

Accepted Answer

The switch should be a Layer-3 / managed type with gigabit bandwidth. It must have multicast enabled, IGMP snooping enabled, and filtering of unregistered multicast traffic enabled.

Question 7

The AVO-IP265HDK-ENC LINK LED is flashing quickly (5 Hz) and there is no picture. What is wrong?

Accepted Answer

A 5 Hz flash means the network is connected but the input signal is incompatible, above 1920x1200 or above 60 fps. Lower the source to within 1920x1200 at 60 Hz or less; a solid green LINK LED confirms a compatible signal is present.

Question 8

The AVO-IP265HDK-ENC LINK LED flashes at 2 Hz. What should I check?

Accepted Answer

A 2 Hz flash means the network is connected but there is no video input. Check the HDMI source and the HDMI IN connection; the LINK LED goes solid once a compatible signal arrives.

Question 9

This is 1080p, not 4K - why choose it over a 4K AV-over-IP system?

Accepted Answer

Because most distribution, KVM and signage jobs are 1080p, and paying 4K endpoint prices on every source is wasted budget. This encoder delivers switched HDMI, KVM and control on a standard 1G switch at a 1080p per-seat price. For jobs that genuinely need 4K, the KanexPro AVO-IP265-4K transceiver is

Question 10

What network does it need?

Accepted Answer

A standard managed 1G (Gigabit) switch with multicast/IGMP snooping configured. It supports point-to-point, multicast distribution, distributed matrix and video wall on that switch - no proprietary chassis. Confirm the switch's PoE budget and multicast settings during design.
