KanexPro NetworkAV 120M Receiver

The KanexPro NetworkAV 120M Receiver is a compact, cost-effective HDMI over IP decoder that unlocks scalable, high-definition AV distribution across a computer network. It is designed for professional environments where distance, clutter, and budget constraints make traditional HDMI extenders impractical. By converting a locally encoded HDMI signal into IP packets, it allows you to send high-quality video and audio from a KanexPro encoder over standard Ethernet to one or more displays located up to 120 meters away. This approach eliminates long HDMI runs, reduces cable management complexity, and enables flexible, future-proof deployments in conference rooms, classrooms, retail displays, corporate lobbies, and digital signage networks. The 120M Receiver delivers crisp 1080p/60 video with reliable color accuracy, low latency, and robust HDCP protection, ensuring your content looks as intended no matter where screens are placed. With an intuitive web-based interface, EDID management, and simple VLAN-friendly configuration, you can integrate this decoder into existing networks without specialized training. Whether you’re building a two-display setup or expanding to a campus-wide installation, this receiver provides a scalable, maintainable solution that grows with your AV needs while staying within budget. The combination of ease of installation, strong image quality, and dependable performance makes the 120M Receiver a staple for modern AV distribution projects.

• Extends full HD 1080p/60 HDMI signals over IP up to 120 meters, leveraging your existing Ethernet infrastructure for scalable distribution without costly fiber or specialized cabling.
• HDCP-compliant and designed to preserve protected content as it travels from the encoder to the display, ensuring compatibility with Blu-ray, streaming services, and business applications.
• Acts as a networked decoder on the IP network, allowing a single encoder to drive multiple displays or multiple receivers across the LAN for synchronized or independent playback.
• Compact, budget-friendly design with a simple setup that minimizes cabling and reduces install time—perfect for conference rooms, classrooms, and retail environments where space and budget matter.
• Flexible management features, including EDID passthrough, status monitoring, and a user-friendly interface for quick configuration and remote control integration.

How to install KanexPro NetworkAV 120M Receiver

• Prepare your network: Ensure the encoder and receiver are on the same IP subnet and connected to a reliable 1 Gbps Ethernet network. If you use VLANs, configure them to prioritize AV traffic to minimize latency and jitter.
• Connect display: Attach the HDMI display cable from the receiver's HDMI output to the display’s HDMI-in. Verify that the display can accept 1080p/60 input and that the HDMI cable is certified for high-speed performance.
• Connect to the network: Plug the receiver into your network switch or router using a standard Ethernet cable. If your installation requires static IP addressing, configure the receiver’s network settings via the onboard web UI or the KanexPro management software.
• Power up and pair: Supply power to the receiver and ensure the encoder is active on the network. Use the web-based management interface to confirm link status, verify video is being decoded, and configure EDID and HDCP settings as needed.
• Test and deploy: On each target display, confirm the 1080p/60 image is steady with minimal latency. If content stalls or appears mismatched, adjust EDID preferences, retry, or re-run auto-discovery on the network.
