Monoprice Blackbird H.265 HDMI over IP Kit 143624

This kit extends HDMI video signals up to 492 feet (150 metres) over an existing Gigabit Ethernet network using Cat5e/6 cabling. It uses H.265 compression to deliver Full HD 1080p and 1900x1200@60Hz resolution with YCbCr 4:4:4 colour space. The encoder connects to a source and decoders at remote displays, supporting distribution to multiple screens via a network switch.

Installers extending HDMI over structured cabling

The system suits installers who need to distribute a single HDMI source to one or many displays across a building using standard Ethernet infrastructure. It also serves users who want to decode the stream directly on a computer using VLC media player. Buyers requiring uncompressed zero-latency video or support for 4K and HDR signals should look at alternative solutions.

H.265 compression over Gigabit Ethernet

The defining specification is H.265 real-time compression transmitted over a standard Gigabit Ethernet switch, enabling 1080p and 1900x1200@60Hz video up to 492 feet without saturating the network. This IP-based approach allows a virtually unlimited number of decoder endpoints, unlike fixed point-to-point extenders. Compliance with HDMI 1.4b and HDCP 1.4 ensures compatibility with protected Full HD content.

Questions about this item

Does the kit include both the encoder and decoder or do I need to buy a second decoder for the display?

The Blackbird PRO H.265 HDMI over IP Kit 143624 ships with one encoder/transmitter and one decoder/receiver so a single source-to-display link works out of the box.

When should I use H.265 instead of H.264 on this 143624 kit?

Choose H.265 when network bandwidth is limited; it compresses 1080p or 1900x1200@60Hz video more efficiently than H.264 while keeping YCbCr 4:4:4 colour.

What does the 492-foot (150 m) distance claim mean for a real installation?

It is the maximum reach over a single Cat5e/6 cable between the encoder and decoder when both are connected to a Gigabit Ethernet switch.
