C2G Supports UHD Streaming Applications With HDMI Over IP 4K Extender System

Series Includes 4K 30Hz Encoder, 60Hz Decoder, and Network Controller 

DAYTON, Ohio — Aug. 23, 2022C2G now offers HDMI® over IP in 4K resolution to stream outstanding video quality over the network using a new extender system featuring a decoder, encoder, and network controller. Perfect for retail, corporate, security, and education environments, the extender system provides integrators with multiple HDMI over network configurations, ensuring the flexibility to support a digital signage system, a video wall, and point-to-point extension, including multiview capabilities. 

“No matter the application today, the AV system infrastructure demands unquestionable high-resolution support over IP, along with scalability, flexibility, and of course, cost-effectiveness,” said Robert Mays, Associate Product Marketing Manager, C2G, A Brand of Legrand. “Our 4K HDMI over IP solutions pack all these benefits, backed by the same C2G quality that integrators have always trusted and relied upon for decades.” 

C2G’s HDMI over IP Encoder and Decoder allow HDMI audio/video signals to be extended at up to 4K resolution via a Cat-6 or Cat-6a cable. They support multiple configurations and have the ability to provide scalable audio/video matrix switching to over 600 devices. The exceptionally low bandwidth requirements of this device combination allow for audio/video content to be streamed over a local network for distributed installations. The encoder accepts 4K video @ 30Hz and streams the content to any H.264/H.265 decoder to be displayed on a 4K monitor. The encoder may also send H.264/H.265 video streams to other H.264/H.265 compatible decoder devices. The C2G HDMI over IP Decoder can upscale lower resolution video signals up to 4K @ 60Hz to be displayed on a 4K monitor. The decoder also accepts H.264/H.265 video streams from other transmitting devices of up to 4K @ 60Hz. Both devices support PoE and may be powered by a PoE Ethernet switch. 

The C2G Network Controller for HDMI over IP is a Linux-based PC that allows users to control HDMI over IP products, supporting video wall and multiview connectivity. It can be managed via a web interface or the C2G AVoIP control smartphone and tablet app. When installed on a local area network (LAN), it scans the LAN for connected C2G HDMI over IP products, allowing the user to auto-discover, configure, manage connectivity, and support firmware upgrades for the AV over IP devices through the web interface. An Application Program Interface (API) is available for supporting several third-party partner control applications running on smartphones and tablets. 

All solutions are available through retailers and direct to users from C2G.  


About C2G 
When you need reliable connections, be sure to turn to C2G and our high-performance cabling and connectivity solutions. We’ve grown into respectable players in the IT and AV industries, though we still retain our scrappy vibe from the early days. And we’re not above having the occasional mascot.

That’s what you get with C2G – an incredible focus on delivering unique, value-added solutions along with a singular commitment to creating lasting, dependable partnerships. It’s not unheard of for executives to be seen repackaging products in shipping or for a sales rep to hand-deliver a rush order when unusual circumstances arise. We’ve been that way since our founders ditched their 1984 Salem Mall PC resell store in Ohio to focus on expanding the custom cables they made in the back that were selling like hotcakes.   

We use premium components and the latest technologies to keep pace with the fast-moving changes in AV technology. Quality is so important to us; we have our own manufacturing plant to ensure our products meet our demanding expectations. We put our cable performance second to none and make sure we comply with industry specifications across RoHS, R.E.A.C.H., and WEEE. Check out our 7,000+ stocked solutions or ask about custom kits.
