MPX1500 HD Multipoint Extender
 Extend high-definition (HD) video and audio in a wired or wireless configuration from a source to one or more destinations. The Emerge® MPX1500 multipoint extender provides true digital picture and sound content delivery to displays for presentation and digital signage applications.
The Avocent Emerge MPX1500 multipoint extender provides wireless or wired connectivity for distribution of high-definition content from a source to one or more destinations. Emerge MPX transmitters and receivers work in unison to form a managed audio video extension network able to deliver a synchronized stream of high-definition computer graphics or video and associated audio from a source to as many as eight display devices. Display device control information, content protection and interactive device control signals, including IR and serial are passed from source to sink through the extension network, providing a fully integrated solution.
Ideal for professional high-definition media applications, the MPX1500 transmitter and receiver feature a universal media port based upon a locking digital video interface (DVI-I) connector. This media port allows for extension of digital and analog media formats, including: DVI-D, HDMI, DVI-A, RGBHV or YPbPr signals. Embedded digital audio and unbalanced analog audio are both supported. The MPX system serves as a video splitter and a extender by wirelessly delivering audio and video to multiple displays up to 1000 feet away.
All MPX extenders feature an on-board web server for ease of central management. For system control and configuration, the Emerge MPX extender solution is accessible through an on-board web server that allows browser-based configuration, status monitoring, and administration. The extenders allow for centralized control of attached audio-visual equipment through RS-232 serial and infrared interfaces. The Emerge MPX product is field upgradeable to support future functionality.
