Audio Authority is an acknowledged leader in Cat 5 based video distribution technology, so that makes the
announcement of this revolutionary 2800 series HDMI over IP video distribution system all the more exciting!
With an expected ship date of May 2010, this system promises to be a pacesetting solution for digital signage
and other video distribution applications. One 1080p HDMI source can be distributed to 127 HDTVs with
exceptional picture quality and reliability, and uses only a single Cat 5e/6 cable for signal transmission.
Pending enhancements to the system will add matrix switching capabilities.
Benefiting from the latest Gigabit high speed data technology, this IP solution leapfrogs other HDMI over
IP products that deliver noticeably compressed picture. It provides significantly improved reliability
and faster handshake speed compared to traditional HDMI distribution systems that use standard HDMI cabling
or balun extenders. With picture quality that will please even the most discerning enthusiast, and the
reliability that installers demand, 2800 series opens a new world of no-compromise HDMI installations.
According to Audio Authority’s product manager, Trent Davis, “There’s simply no better way to distribute 1080p content. We understand the need for exceptional
picture quality and bulletproof reliability in installations, and sought to market a product that delivers
HDMI picture quality with component video reliability. This is a system without compromise”
“Furthermore, it’s a true ‘plug and play’ system. For point to point and one-to-many installations,
there’s no programming or setup required. Installers just need to hook up a source and power on the
system – everything is automatic from there.”
The 2800 series consists of the Model 2801, which is a single-source transmitter, and the
Model 2811, a
single-output receiver. The system can be expanded using off-the-shelf Gigabit Ethernet routers to
support up to 127 HDTVs. The system complies fully with the latest HDCP specification, version 2.0, and
utilizes 128 bit AES encryption.
Audio Authority plans to introduce a matrix-switching enabled version of the system later this year. The
3800 Series, as it will be known, will support numerous sources and an almost unlimited number of HDTV
displays.
Audio Authority's Description
HD-IP™ Gigabit Video Distribution System
2800 Series - Now Shipping!
Audio Authority's HD-IP™ Ethernet technology revolutionizes retail demonstration of HDTV by giving
stores a long distance, high reliability solution capable of showcasing the latest 1080p video
sources and displays. Advanced Gigabit Ethernet technology enables HDMI® signals to be transmitted
over a single Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable.
Overview
The 2800 series of HDMI® over IP products is perfectly suited to retail demonstration in
electronics stores. The system is capable of transmitting 1080p video content up to 250 feet in one
run without any loss of quality, and supports an almost unlimited number of HDTV displays. Using
Gigabit IP technology, picture quality is maximized while overcoming the slow handshake times, poor
cable integrity, and distance limitations of traditional HDMI distribution amplifiers. Using
off-the-shelf Gigabit Ethernet switches, a system can be extended for even more distance, or expanded
to add more displays. This plug and play system is incredibly simple to install - just connect a
single UTP Ethernet cable from the 2801 transmitter to a GbE network switch, then feed the cables
from the switch to an array of 2811 receivers.
