4K UHD HDMI 2.1 AV over IP Multicast Transceiver with Seamless Matrix Switching/Multiview/KVM/USB & PoE Support over 1 Gigabit Network
Overview
The BG-IPGEAR-XTREME delivers next-generation HDMI 2.1 over IP performance, enabling uncompressed 4K@120Hz 4:4:4 video, multi-channel audio, and advanced KVM functionality over standard Cat.5e/6/6a/7 cabling up to 170 meters (560ft). Designed for professional AV environments, this versatile transceiver can operate as either a transmitter or receiver, supporting point-to-point, point-to-multipoint, and multicast configurations for maximum deployment flexibility. With seamless matrix switching, ultra-low latency transmission, and scalable network architecture, the system is ideal for digital signage, esports, corporate AV, broadcast, education, healthcare, and command center applications.
Supporting HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, VRR, and ALLM, the BG-IPGEAR-XTREME ensures exceptional image quality with smooth, tear-free performance for both live and interactive content. Integrated USB 3.1 Gen1/Gen2, bi-directional IR, and RS-232 provide full KVM extension and reliable third-party control integration, while PoE support simplifies installation by delivering power, video, audio, and control over a single Ethernet cable.
Features-in-Depth
The BG-IPGEAR-XTREME is engineered to provide high-performance AV distribution with uncompromising video and audio quality. Supporting resolutions up to 4K@120Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling, the system preserves every detail, making it suitable for fast-motion video, gaming, medical imaging, and mission-critical monitoring environments. HDR10, HDR10+, and Dolby Vision compatibility ensure vibrant colors, deeper contrast, and enhanced visual realism across connected displays.
Its flexible transceiver architecture allows each unit to function as either an encoder or decoder, reducing inventory complexity and simplifying system expansion. The scalable multicast design supports seamless matrix switching, video wall processing, and advanced MultiView layouts including PiP, PbP, PoP, and Quad-view configurations. With transmission latency below one frame, the BG-IPGEAR-XTREME delivers real-time responsiveness essential for live production, control rooms, and interactive AV applications.
For USB and control integration, the system supports full KVM extension through USB Host and USB Device connectivity, enabling remote operation of PCs, media servers, and touchscreen systems. Bi-directional IR and RS-232 interfaces allow seamless integration with automation and control platforms for centralized management of displays and source devices. eARC/ARC support, along with Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, and LPCM 7.1 compatibility, ensures premium multi-channel audio performance without additional infrastructure.
Designed for streamlined deployment, the BG-IPGEAR-XTREME utilizes Gigabit Ethernet with PoE support, allowing power, audio, video, and control to travel through a single Cat.5e/6/6a/7 cable up to 170 meters (560ft). This reduces installation complexity while providing the flexibility and scalability needed for modern AV-over-IP systems.
