NetworkAV™ HDMI over IP Encoder/Decoder Kit — 120M 1080p
KanexPro EXT-AVIP120M HDMI over IP encoder/decoder kit — extend 1080p up to 120m over CAT5e/6 with MJPEG compression, IR control, and TCP/IP support.
The EXT-AVIP120M delivers a simple and cost-effective path to HDMI distribution over IP — extending full HD 1080p/60 HDMI signals up to 120m (394 ft) over a single UTP CAT5e/6 cable using MJPEG compression. The included encoder/decoder kit supports point-to-point, point-to-many, and many-to-many configurations over standard TCP/IP network infrastructure, with no proprietary switching hardware required for basic deployments. Built into a compact metal enclosure with integrated mounting ears, the EXT-AVIP120M is well suited for classrooms, lobbies, digital signage networks, and corporate AV systems where 1080p distribution is needed without the cost or complexity of a dedicated AV matrix. IR pass-through and an embedded HTTP server for IP configuration are included. For larger many-to-many deployments, VLAN configuration and a compatible 10G switch are required.

Questions
- What is the maximum transmission distance of the EXT-AVIP120M?
- 120m (394 ft) over a single UTP CAT5E/6 cable, 24AWG solid.
- What compression and resolutions does the EXT-AVIP120M support?
- MJPEG compression for DTV/HDTV formats 480i, 576i, 480p, 576p, 720p, 1080i, and 1080p, output as HDCP-compliant HDMI.
- What is the default IP configuration of the TX and RX?
- The transmitter defaults to 192.168.168.55 (MAC 00:0b:78:00:60:01) and the receiver defaults to 192.168.168.56 (MAC 00:0b:78:00:60:02); each unit has an embedded HTTP server reachable by connecting a PC on the same subnet.
- How do I configure a many-to-many EXT-AVIP120M deployment?
- Cascade the units through 10G Ethernet switches, configure a VLAN, and use a compatible 10G switch such as a GES24 or equivalent.
- What power does the EXT-AVIP120M kit require?
- Each unit uses a DC 5V/1A power adapter (two included), with TX and RX each drawing 3W max.
- What are the dimensions and weight of each unit?
- 4.07 in x 3.68 in x 0.97 in (103.5 x 93.5 x 24.6 mm), weighing 0.49 lbs (220g) each.
- There is no video on the display. What should I check?
- Verify both TX and RX power LEDs are lit, confirm TX and RX are on the same network subnet with unique IP addresses, check that the CAT5e/6 cable follows the EIA-TIA 568B standard, and try the reset procedure on both units.
- There is a ghost image or distortion on the output. What should I check?
- Check the display's resolution settings, try a higher-quality CAT6 cable, and ensure cable length does not exceed 120m for 1080p 8-bit signals.
- Why choose the EXT-AVIP120M over a dedicated AV matrix switcher?
- It is a complete encoder/decoder kit that distributes 1080p HDMI over standard TCP/IP infrastructure at point-to-point, point-to-many, or many-to-many scale without proprietary switching hardware for basic deployments.
- What environments is the EXT-AVIP120M designed for?
- Classrooms, lobbies, digital signage networks, and corporate AV systems that need 1080p distribution without the cost or complexity of a dedicated AV matrix.
