Black Box MCX G2 HDMI Decoder 4K60 Fiber

Black Box MCX G2 4K60 Fiber Decoder

The Black Box MCX G2 decoder extends HDMI, analog audio, RS-232, IR and USB 2.0 signals over a 10-Gbps Ethernet fiber network. It delivers uncompressed 4K 60 Hz 4:4:4 video with up to 10-bit HDR using SDVoE technology. The unit supports extension distances up to 30 km depending on the SFP+ module and fiber type. Front-panel buttons and an on-screen display provide basic local configuration.

Suitable Uses and Limits

This decoder suits installers building point-to-point links, video walls, multi-monitor broadcasts or remote KVM systems that require zero-latency switching via the optional MCX Gen2 Controller. It is not for buyers who need a standalone unit without a managed 10-GbE switch, who require HDBaseT or copper cabling, or who want built-in video-wall processing without the separate manager software.

10-Gbps Fiber Transport Decides Fit

The single specification that determines compatibility is the 10-Gbps fiber Ethernet transport. Your infrastructure must provide a managed 10-GbE switch with appropriate SFP+ modules and fiber runs up to 30 km. Without that network layer the decoder cannot function, so verify switch ports and fiber budget before purchase.
