92 Vol. 42 No. 1 - February 2020 Issue At ISE, MuxLab showcased its latest signal transmitter solution that utilises an IP-based Ethernet network to stream AV from a variety of sources. “Because it supports the H.264/H.265 video codec setting, this HDMI over IP H.264/H.265 PoE Transmitter, 4K/60 (model 500764) can stream AV content from the Internet with near zero latency, delivering it locally, remotely or even across the world provided all equipment is connected on the network. Each transmitter connects a video source via an Ethernet switch to a MuxLab receiver, such as the HDMI over IP H.264/H.265 PoE (model 500762) receiver, which delivers AV to each connected display,” explained MuxLab. “Upscaling the system to accommodate multiple sources and displays is very easy, with the ability to support potentially hundreds of displays provided the network can accommodate 4K signal transmissions. When configured on a network, multiple sources and displays can be integrated and content can be delivered in a multitude of combinations. Integrators can create user configurable video walls supporting multi-views for commercial applications with a very low bandwidth solution. This transmitter also supports aMotionJPG (MJPG) video codec setting for low latency applications. The transmitter provides a two-channel audio input that can be delivered alongside HDMI on the receiving end,” it added. While RS232 and directional IR are provided for the remote control of sources, this transmitter works with the MuxLab ProDigital Network Controller (model 500812), an auto-configuration system that detects equipment and simplifies IP-system access, configuration and control with a user-friendly interface. “When combined with the MuxControl app, any smart device can provide end-user access and control, freeing the user to deliver content anywhere with complete mobility. Because of the exceedingly low bandwidth required to achieve a very high quality image, and with 200ms latency, we think this solution is ideal for most applications that stream content over a LAN, particularly in classrooms, digital signage applications, medical and corporate environments,” said MuxLab’s VP of Business Development and Product Management, Joe Teixeira. Sources can connect to the Ethernet switch using standard CAT5e/6 cable from up to 100 metres away, allowing integrators to keep equipment secure and away from the end-user environment. Once connected, video is delivered up to 4K@60Hz resolutions. PoE is supported, eliminating power requirements.

Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) represents the next wave of growth in Wi-Fi by supporting increased per-user traffic demand, increased users per access point, increased cellular offloading, higher-density deployments and additional power and performance,” commented Qorvo. “Our new QPF4800 FEM offers efficiency, superior thermal design, high linear output power and best-in-class receive performance in a compact dual-band form factor that supports 2.4 and 5GHz frequency bands. It incorporates the power amplifier (PA), low-noise amplifier (LNA) with bypass and switches/diplexers in a very small form factor. Compared to dual-band FEMs supporting Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), the QPF4800 improves linear output power by 77 per cent – providing better range and capacity – while consuming 20 per cent lower power for better thermal performance required for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO),” it added. Cees Links, Qorvo general manager of Wireless Connectivity, added; “This breakthrough FEM from Qorvo is the right solution at the right time to deliver the capacity, density and thermal performance needed for 4X4 MIMO operation. This compact and efficient solution allows equipment manufacturers to quickly meet the challenges of Wi-Fi 6 without sacrificing size, power or performance.” The QPF4800 Wi-Fi 6 FEM and other Wi-Fi solutions were featured at Qorvo’s booth in Hall 1, Stand A50 at IBC 2019 (#IBC2019) in Amsterdam. It is now sampling with leading Wi-Fi 6 CPE providers and chipset makers and was chosen for a major supplier’s reference design. ‘World’s first dual-band Wi-Fi 6 front-end module’ For more information, see www.qorvo.com products
