4K60 4:4:4 JPEG2000 AV over IP Encoder — Slim PoE, Dante Ready
AVO-IPJP2KS-ENC: slim 4K60 4:4:4 JPEG2000 AV over IP encoder. PoE, HDMI 2.0b 18Gbps, HDR, 9x9 video wall, Dante ready over the 1G switch you already have.
Adds visually lossless 4K60 4:4:4 sources to the standard 1G network you already have, so distribution scales one endpoint at a time instead of hitting the fixed port count of an HDMI matrix. The AVO-IPJP2KS-ENC is a slim metal encoder — 8.03" x 5.35" x 1.00" — that draws under 8W and powers from PoE (802.3af) on the same cable that carries its stream, so racks of source endpoints go in without local supplies and two units mount side by side in 1U. It is the entry, fixed-HDMI-source encoder in KanexPro's JPEG2000 range: the volume transmit endpoint for AV integrators who value reach, density, and cost-per-endpoint over 1G more than dual-LAN redundancy, GPIO contact control, or USB-C BYOD input. JPEG2000 compression is intra-frame and visually lossless, holding full HDMI 2.0b 18Gbps 4K60 4:4:4 with HDR10, Dolby Vision, and HLG passthrough where an H.264 backbone would soften fine text and UI content. Unicast and multicast feed point-to-point, matrix, and video-wall layouts up to 9x9 with intelligent class management, while an MJPEG substream gives control apps a live preview of every source. IR, RS-232, and CEC ride the same Ethernet for display control, an on-board 1G switch supports daisy-chaining, and Dante AV-A comes as an optional pre-installed license (units without it still carry AES67 network audio) — the flexibility fixed-codec encoders at twice the price per endpoint do not offer. The matching AVO-IPJP2KS-DEC decoder is sold separately.

Questions
- How far can the AVO-IPJP2KS-ENC send signal over network cable?
- 100m (328 ft) over CAT6, 6A or 7 cable.
- How long can the HDMI cable be at 4K60 on the AVO-IPJP2KS-ENC?
- 16 ft / 5 m at 4K60. The reach extends to 32 ft / 10 m at 4K30 and 50 ft / 15 m at 1080p60.
- How is the AVO-IPJP2KS-ENC controlled?
- Via Web GUI, TCP, RS-232, IR, an app, or a third-party central control system.
- What does the AVO-IPJP2KS-ENC pass through over Ethernet?
- It transmits IR, RS-232 and CEC over Ethernet alongside the video and analog audio.
- How is the AVO-IPJP2KS-ENC powered?
- By PoE (802.3af PD) from the network switch, or by a local DC 12V/2.5A adapter. When the switch supplies PoE, the DC adapter is not needed.
- What kind of network switch does the AVO-IPJP2KS-ENC require?
- A Layer 3 / managed switch with Gigabit bandwidth, 8KB jumbo-frame capability and IGMP snooping.
- No video on the display?
- Confirm encoder and decoder are on the same segment and paired, IGMP Snooping is enabled, and check the LINK LED.
- The LINK LED flashes?
- The input signal is missing or incompatible. Set the source within 4K60 4:4:4 and confirm the HDMI cable is seated.
- How does control pass through?
- Bidirectional IR + RS-232 + CEC (guest mode) travel with the stream, plus Web GUI/TCP/APP control.
- Does it need a managed switch?
- Yes — a Layer-3 managed Gigabit switch with IGMP Snooping / multicast; a recommended switch list is provided.
