True 4K HDMI over IP Receiver with PoE

Adopting advanced compression technology, the ATEN VE8962 Video over IP Extender consists of a transmitter VE8962T and a receiver VE8962R that can transmit up to 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz (4:4:4) HDMI, audio, USB 2.0, IR, RS-232 signals with ultra-low latency via a single Cat 5e/6 or fiber optic cable.

Additionally, the VE8962 features power redundancy with DC in and Power over Ethernet, over IP redundancy with copper cable and fiber optical cable, operation redundancy with user-friendly web GUI, and control commands by control system.

With a built-in scaler, the VE8962 can easily upscale various input resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 @ 60 Hz, giving viewers the best visual quality across all displays. Moreover, the VE8962 is capable of embedding and de-embedding audio, allowing it to be either embedded in the HDMI stream or extracted and delivered separately.

The extender supports multiple ways of controls including pushbuttons, web GUI, RS-232, bi-directional IR, and Telnet/Reslink. The VE8962 also provides users with user-friendly web GUI to customize control rooms over web for contextual and practical usage. The VE8962 supports USB 2.0 compatibility, enabling users to access USB 2.0 peripherals. For additional local input usage, the VE8962R is equipped with local HDMI input and pushbutton for easy port switching.

Engineered to meet today’s demands of large scale, multi-display, True 4K signal transmission, the VE8962 supports AV matrix switch and video wall configurations with up to 80 displays, allowing you to design creative video walls, with a combination of horizontal and vertical displays.

With limitless scalability and flexibility, the VE8962 Video over IP Extender can transmit signals from floor to floor with over IP structure via simple installation, making it an ideal and reliable solution for a wide range of environments, such as trade shows, airports, university campuses, conference centers, and shopping centers.
