HX530TX HDMI over IP Transmitter for 4K 60Hz AV-over-IP Systems

HX530TX HDMI over IP Transmitter for 4K 60Hz AV-over-IP Systems

The HX530TX transmitter expands the HX530 HDMI over IP system with additional HDMI sources. It converts the signal from an HDMI source into an IP stream and transmits it over a Gigabit network to one or more HX530RX receivers. This allows additional players to be flexibly integrated into existing AV-over-IP installations. With support for 4K 60Hz, ranges up to 120 meters over CAT6, and convenient app management, the HX530TX is ideal for digital signage, conference rooms, training environments, as well as demanding home theater and professional AV installations.

Easily integrate additional HDMI sources

The HX530TX converts the signal from an HDMI source into an IP stream and transmits it over a Gigabit network to one or more HX530RX receivers. Even a single transmitter and receiver enable a point-to-point connection. With additional transmitters, supplementary HDMI sources such as PCs, notebooks, Apple TV, Fire TV, Blu-ray players, media players, or SAT receivers can be integrated into the existing AV-over-IP system at any time.

4K 60Hz AV-over-IP over the network up to 120m

The HX530TX transmits HDMI signals as an IP stream over a Gigabit network, enabling flexible AV distribution over long distances. Resolutions up to 4K 60Hz 4:4:4 including stereo audio are supported with an HDMI data rate of up to 18 Gbit/s. In network operation, distances of up to 120 meters are achieved over CAT6 cables, and up to 200 meters with a direct connection between transmitter and receiver. Transmission occurs with a typical network load of 200 to 500 Mbit/s per 4K stream.

Scalable to a complete AV-over-IP matrix

The HX530TX is part of the modular HX530 system. Depending on the number of transmitters and receivers used, one-to-one, one-to-many, many-to-one, or complete many-to-many installations with up to 253 devices can be realized within a network. New transmitters or receivers can be added at any time, allowing the system to grow flexibly with installation requirements.

Flexible signal distribution via app

When multiple HX530TX transmitters or HX530RX receivers are used, assignment is conveniently done via the iMMS smartphone app. Sources and displays can be flexibly connected via drag & drop and reassigned at any time without changing the cabling.

Easy integration into existing networks

The HX530TX uses the existing network infrastructure for HDMI transmission. Instead of laying long HDMI cables, existing CAT network cables and Gigabit networks are utilized. This saves installation effort and enables flexible signal distribution across multiple rooms or floors. For smaller one-to-one installations, transmitters and receivers can also be directly connected via network cable.

IR control over long distances

The HX530 system supports the transmission of infrared signals. This allows an HDMI source to be controlled with the original remote control even if it is in another room or equipment cabinet. Media players, SAT receivers, or other players remain conveniently operable.

Notes for optimal operation

At least one HX530RX receiver is required for the HX530TX to operate. For reliable signal transmission, we recommend HDMI cables up to 5 meters in length and network cables from CAT5e, ideally CAT6 or higher. For installations with multiple devices, distribution is done via a standard Gigabit switch. If this switch supports IGMP Snooping, multicast data streams are optimally managed and network load is further reduced.

For control via the iMMS smartphone app, the router, smartphone, and all HX530 transmitters and receivers must be on the same IP network. This allows all devices to be automatically recognized and conveniently managed.
