Streaming encoder Lindy 4K60 HDMI over IP (model 38519) for HDMI network distribution

The Lindy 4K60 HDMI over IP streaming encoder converts a single HDMI video source into an IP stream for distribution across standard Ethernet networks. Designed for centralized AV distribution, the encoder accepts HDMI input up to 4K at 60 Hz and outputs compressed video over network protocols suitable for remote monitoring, multiroom playback and integration with AV-over-IP systems. The device is intended for use in environments where reliable, low-latency streaming and flexible network routing of HDMI content are required.

Advantages

The encoder provides support for high-resolution HDMI input up to 4K60, enabling clear image reproduction for detailed content. Network streaming capability allows easy distribution of a single source to multiple endpoints without point-to-point cabling. Compact design and standard HDMI and Ethernet interfaces simplify integration with existing AV and IT infrastructure. The unit supports centralized management and monitoring workflows, reducing the need for local cabling and enabling scalable multiroom deployments.

Suitable for

• Conference rooms and meeting spaces for sharing HDMI sources to displays or streaming endpoints
• Digital signage networks where a single player must be distributed to multiple screens
• Education and lecture capture systems requiring high-resolution screen sharing
• Control rooms and monitoring stations that need remote video distribution and monitoring

Key specifications

• Video input: HDMI, supports up to 4K (3840×2160) at 60 Hz
• Network interface: Ethernet for IP streaming and distribution
• Streaming capability: Encodes HDMI input to network video stream for AV-over-IP distribution
• Latency: Designed for low-latency network streaming suitable for real-time monitoring and presentations
• Form factor: Compact standalone encoder for rack or shelf mounting in AV/IT environments

How to use

Connect the HDMI source (computer, media player, camera or other HDMI device) to the encoder's HDMI input, and connect the encoder to the local Ethernet network via the network port. Configure streaming parameters and destination addresses using the device’s management interface or provided configuration tools. Once configured, the unit will encode the HDMI signal and send the stream to selected IP endpoints, media players or a central AV-over-IP system for distribution and playback. Monitor status and adjust settings remotely through the network management console as needed.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use a stable Gigabit Ethernet network with adequate bandwidth and quality of service (QoS) settings to prioritize AV traffic. Ensure HDMI source devices output a compatible resolution and refresh rate (up to 4K60) and update the encoder firmware and management software to the latest versions for best performance and compatibility.
