4K60 4:4:4 JPEG2000 AV over IP Encoder — Dante Dual LAN with Contact Control
AVO-IPJP2KD-ENC: 4K60 4:4:4 JPEG2000 AV over IP encoder with dual-LAN Dante, 2 relay + 2 digital I/O contact control, 9x9 video wall and KVM over 1G PoE.
Distributes one HDMI source as visually lossless 4K60 4:4:4 across a matrix, video wall, or KVM system over the standard 1G copper network you already run. The encoder is a black metal endpoint powered by standard PoE or local DC 12V/2.5A, drawing 9.12W maximum, and folds dual RJ45 LAN ports, an HDMI loop-out, RS-232, IR, CEC, USB 2.0, and relay/digital-I/O contact control into a single rack-mountable device. It is the right choice for corporate, higher-education, control-room, and house-of-worship installations where full-chroma 4K60, Dante audio separation, and endpoint control matter more than the cost and switch replacement of a 10GbE/SDVoE fabric. The AVO-IPJP2KD-ENC covers point-to-point, full matrix switching, and video wall up to 9x9 with intelligent video-wall class management, unicast and multicast, alongside USB 2.0 KVM, RS-232, bidirectional IR, CEC, and two relay plus two digital-I/O contact ports for room automation. Control runs through the front-panel buttons, IR, RS-232, TCP/IP, and a built-in web GUI with Telnet and SSH, and Dante AV-A is an optional pre-installed license rather than a separate hardware SKU. Its defining feature is a dual copper LAN design: LAN Mode 2 carries JPEG2000 video on the PoE LAN 1 while Dante audio runs on LAN 2, physically separating the audio network from the video transport, or LAN Mode 1 consolidates both streams on LAN 1. Matching JPEG2000 decoder sold separately.

Questions
- What is the maximum video resolution and bandwidth this encoder supports?
- The AVO-IPJP2KD-ENC handles up to 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 as specified in HDMI 2.0b, with 18Gbps video bandwidth and HDCP 2.2 compliance.
- How far can I run the signal over network cable?
- The AVO-IPJP2KD-ENC transmits up to 100m (328ft) over CAT6, CAT6A, or CAT7 cable.
- What control interfaces does the AVO-IPJP2KD-ENC offer?
- You can control it from front-panel buttons, IR, RS-232, TCP/IP, and the built-in web GUI, plus Telnet and SSH.
- Can it do more than point-to-point in a system?
- Yes, it supports point-to-point, video matrix, and video wall topologies, with video wall up to 9x9, and both unicast and multicast casting.
- How does the AVO-IPJP2KD-ENC get power?
- It draws standard PoE (PD mode) from the LAN 1(PoE) port, or from a local DC 12V/2.5A supply; the DC adapter is not needed when the switch supplies PoE. Maximum power consumption is 9.12W.
- What kind of network switch does this encoder need?
- Use an L3/managed Gigabit switch with 8KB jumbo frame and IGMP snooping. Tested switches include the Cisco SG500, Cisco Catalyst series, Huawei S5720S-28X-PWR-LI-AC, ZyXEL GS2210, and Luxul AMS-4424P.
- There is no picture and the green LINK LED is off. What do I check?
- LINK off means the unit is not linked; confirm both ends are cabled to LAN 1(PoE), that the managed switch has IGMP snooping enabled, and that the CAT6/6A/7 run is within 100m.
- The LINK LED is flashing green but I get no image. What is wrong?
- A flashing LINK LED means the unit is linked but has no video, so check that the source is active at HDMI IN and that the HDMI cable is within its length limit for the resolution (16ft/5m at 4K60).
- How is this different from the JPEG2000 encoders we already spec?
- It runs the same 1GbE JPEG2000 class at full 4K60 4:4:4, and adds two things base encoders don't headline: dual copper LAN ports that physically separate Dante audio from the JPEG2000 video, and 2x relay plus 2x digital-I/O contact control at the encoder. It carries native Dante AV-A by license.
- What network does it need — do we have to replace our switches?
- No. It runs on standard managed Gigabit copper with IGMP for multicast, not a 10GbE/SDVoE fabric. That is the core reason to choose this tier over uncompressed AV over IP: system cost and switch compatibility. Endpoints are standard PoE, so a PoE switch can power them without local adapters.
