Description of Monoprice Blackbird H.265 HDMI Over IP Kit: 328ft Range, 1080p Full HD, Web GUI Controls

Supports H. 265: The HDMI signal can be transmitted to the receiver using a direct cable connection or by connecting the transmitter and receiver to an existing network. When using an existing network, transmitting uncompressed, Full HD video can bog down the network. H. 265 real-time video compression reduces the bandwidth required for Full HD video, ensuring that it doesn't negatively impact network performance. Supports Full HD: In addition to support for Full HD (1080p) video, this extender supports video resolutions up to 1900x1200@60Hz with the YCbCr 4: 4: 4 color space. Web GUI controls: The built-in Web Graphical User Interface (GUI) allows you to control the settings of the encoder, including the resolution, codec, and bitrate of both the main and sub streams. 328-foot transmission distance: Extend Full HD HDMI video to distances up to 328 fee (100 meters) over a single Cat5e/6 Ethernet cable. The transmitter can be connected directly to a computer and the signal can be decoded using the free, open source VLC media player.

Disappointing Splitter Extender for TV

I bought this splitter extender to use on my TV, but it's been nothing but trouble. My analysis of this product showed that it's poorly made and doesn't work properly. The only pro is that it's affordable, but that's not enough to make up for the fact that the picture quality is terrible and there's a lot of interference. I wouldn't recommend this to anyone who cares about the quality of their electronics.

Pros
  • Easy to install and use
Cons
  • Only supports up to 1080p resolution

Great video, poor audio format support

I bought a set of these. Assembly was easy despite the poor instructions. I had to guess the default login password, which wasn't documented in the manual but was pretty obvious. The video was beautiful. What's really cool is that the encrypted video stream can be accessed and viewed on a PC or mobile device using VLC and the URL provided in the manual. Where the product falls short and why I ended up bringing it back is audio support. The device only supports PCM 2.0CH, 48kHz audio. If you…

Pros
  • The transmitter can be connected directly to a computer and the signal decoded using the free, open source media player VLC.
Cons
  • Some bugs

Excellent video, very low latency

Installed this system a few weeks ago in a church with one transmitter and two receivers. Right now it's running on the same network as the rest of the traffic (I plan on splitting it into different VLANs eventually). The video looks good, the lag is minimal, I think around 5 frames or less. I didn't observe any jitter/tiling/artifacts, it looks like I connected both TVs with direct HDMI cables. Very smooth video despite the fact that we have a network switch and about 100 feet of cable between

Pros
  • H.265 support: The HDMI signal can be sent to the receiver via a direct cable connection or by connecting the transmitter and receiver to an existing network. If you are using an existing network, streaming uncompressed Full HD video can cause network congestion. Real-time H.265 video compression reduces the bandwidth required for Full HD video and ensures network performance is not impacted.
Cons
  • Out of fashion
