Vaddio, a brand of Legrand | AV, founded in 2003, produces high-quality PTZ cameras, Pro AV solutions, and unified communication systems for audiovisual, collaboration, and production markets, offering easy installation and use, enhancing communication and collaboration.
Vaddio has launched the EasyIP Tx/Rx HDMI Encoder/Decoder, a versatile two-in-one device that adds flexibility to the EasyIP ecosystem. It supports HDMI, Dante, and analog audio, enabling content distribution and integration with third-party devices. It can be configured as either a transmitter (Tx) or receiver (Rx) and introduces multicasting for EasyIP systems.
This innovation enhances the versatility and scalability of EasyIP systems, making it easier to integrate cameras, content sources, and displays in applications like conferencing, presentations, and digital signage. The device’s multicast capability and reconfigurable nature future-proof investments while simplifying installations and expanding functionality.
Vaddio, a brand of Legrand | AV, is pleased to introduce the newest member of the EasyIP ecosystem, the EasyIP Tx/Rx HDMI Encoder or Decoder. This two-in-one device offers a simple way to add features and functionality to EasyIP environments.
“Vaddio is constantly striving to bring new innovations to the EasyIP ecosystem,” said Stephanie Johnson, Vaddio Product Manager, Legrand | AV. “The EasyIP Tx/Rx allows third-party cameras or HDMI content sources such as laptops to play in the EasyIP ecosystem, which adds a new dimension of flexibility and value to our customers.”
EasyIP Tx/Rx is a single device that can be set to either transmit or receive mode. In transmit mode, EasyIP Tx/Rx converts HDMI signals and analog audio inputs to EasyIP and Dante streams. In receive mode, Tx/Rx converts EasyIP and Dante signals and delivers them as 1080p HDMI and analog audio outputs for local viewing and listening.
With support for Dante, analog, and EasyIP audio routing options, the EasyIP Tx/Rx is a powerful addition for video distribution in conferencing, live presentations, and digital signage applications. PoE+ and a compact design also make it ideal for discreet installation behind displays, under tables, or in AV racks.
“In a conference room, training room, or lecture hall, the EasyIP Tx/Rx makes it easy to add a fixed camera, laptop, confidence monitor, or overflow room display,” Johnson said. “It can also be configured as a content distribution system, sending digital signage content from one source to many displays in a building or space.”
Johnson added, “Because it is designed as a two-in-one solution with one part number, it’s easy to order, and installers can set it to either transmit or receive mode during installation. EasyIP Tx/Rx units can be reset and configured to either Tx or Rx at any time, which protects your investment and future-proofs any room design.”
Multicast Added to EasyIP devices
With the introduction of EasyIP Tx/Rx, EasyIP systems now support multicasting, allowing a single source to be received at any number of destinations. This powerful feature simplifies content distribution across rooms or displays without the need for costly cabling or distribution amplifiers. The multicast capability will be available through a firmware update for all existing EasyIP devices, bringing added flexibility to the entire EasyIP ecosystem.
