Planet IHD-420PR

Ultra High Quality 4K/60 HDMI Video Wall

PLANET IHD-420 HDMI/USB Extender Video Wall over IP with PoE delivers a great 4K video distribution solution with refreshing 60 frames per second , ensuring an efficient and effective advertising deployment. The IHD-420 series is the combination of the transmitter, IHD-420PT, and the receiver, IHD-420PR. They can be used as an audio, video and IR extender over IP, and applied to point to point, point to multi-point, multi-point to multi-point and eye-catching video walls of up to 16 by 8 displays.

IR Extension for Controlling Video Source

The IHD-420 series is a perfect solution for audio and video signal extension via the Gigabit LAN. Designed with IR transmitter and receiver interface, it allows users to control the video source at the terminal destination. The IHD-420 series features bi-directional IR extension and RS232 pass-through which allow users to cascade the system enabling them to extend the transmission distance without signal loss or delay.

They come with USB interfaces, which support basic KVM applications, such as touch screens, keyboards and mice, enabling users to achieve KVM PC control easily. Besides, with PoE function, there is no additional power supply needed, and the IHD-420 series thus reduces the complexity of cable installation.

Exclusive Video Transmission by IGMP Snooping Technology

One IHD-420PT at the local site can drive multiple IHD-420PRs at remote sites without adding extra load to the network. Integrated with a Gigabit PoE switch that includes IGMP snooping functions, the IHD-420 series allows for selectable channels, enabling simultaneous transmission of video and audio. IGMP snooping is a crucial component of IP multicast, serving as a communication protocol for hosts and adjacent routers on IP networks to establish multicast group memberships. This functionality is ideal for one-to-many and many-to-many networking applications, such as online streaming and gaming, facilitating exclusive transmission and more efficient resource utilization.

Extended Display Identification Data (EDID) Support 

The IHD-420 series adopts Automatic EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) Copy function to make smooth video distribution over different types of display units. EDID is extremely important as it contains information about resources' manufacturer names, serial numbers, product types, maximum image sizes, color characteristics, factory pre-set timings, frequency range limits, etc. In some cases, display problems may occur due to incorrect EDID communication between the display monitor and the transmitting unit or inappropriate EDID data programmed by display manufacturers. Therefore, with Automatic EDID Copy function, the IHD-420 series allows the system to copy EDID information from EDID compliant displays and assures accurate display performance.

Video Channel Setting Matches Well through Network Configuration 

The IHD-420 series allows a network configuration via a central computer over the same LAN within a certain distance. By fully leveraging the Gigabit Ethernet switches with 802.1Q VLAN function, multi-casting can be performed to allow more video sources/senders in the network and be remotely managed. Adjusting and matching video channel setting is simple with the DIP switch on both the IHD-420PT and IHD-420PR. The video distribution is easily deployed through Plug and Play.

Efficient Control via Selectable 64-Channel DIP Switch

Where there is more than one transmitter in the video extend system, the DIP switch in the IHD-420PT and IHD-420PR facilitates distinguishing the pair of the transmitter and receiver units in the same channel. It further enables the broadcasting system to perform multiple video extend systems simultaneously through matching of the IHD-420PT and IHD-420PR.
