DVI or VGA over IP

H-DVI-VGA-IP High-Definition DVI or VGA Video/Audio Encoder and Decoder

The Thor H-DVI-VGA-IP is an ideal VGA-over-IP solution to extend DVI/VGA with audio & RS-232 signals over IP Ethernet. This video-over-IP unit is useful in a wide range of digital signage applications that require one-to-many or many-to-many distribution, such as informational displays, corporate signage, boardrooms, courtrooms, train stations, shopping malls, medical, military, and school/college applications.

The H-DVI-VGA-IP unit is a high-definition video/audio-over-IP transport system for DVI or VGA signals. With this unit, you can stream a DVI or VGA signal to anywhere in the world over the Internet or another IP-based Ethernet network. Use with wireless networking equipment to multicast DVI wirelessly to as many display units as you want. You can also view the stream on a computer via software such as VLC Player. While lower-quality units use JPEG encoding, our H-DVI-IP encoder features H264 encoding, which uses less than half the bandwidth of MPEG-2 and produces the best picture quality available. Our DVI-over-CAT5/6 Ethernet IP network unit offers broadcast-quality encoding with a low time delay, typically around 200 ms. The system offers an optional USB port on the encoder that lets you save the output stream to an attached USB storage device. This VGA-to-IP encoder features an integrated web server for remote management and monitoring. The DVI-to-Ethernet system is perfect for anyone who wants to transport or multicast a DVI or VGA source.

The Transmitter connects with a PC or any device with VGA/DVI/Audio outputs. The Receiver connects to a DVI/VGA display and an optional speaker/RS-232 device. All available 100M, Gigabit, or Fiber Ethernet switches can be used to connect the Transmitter and the Receiver over LAN. You don't need to have a dedicated line for the system. Just plug the transmitter and receiver into an Ethernet network to stream VGA through this IP video extender and enjoy the real-time, high-quality audio and video content.
