1080P60 H.265 AV over IP KVM Encoder
AVO-IP265HDK-ENC 1080p60 H.265 AV over IP KVM encoder distributes one HDMI source to unlimited displays over 1G, with USB-KVM, bidirectional IR, RS-232…
Distributes one HDMI source to an unlimited number of displays over the standard 1G network you already have. The AVO-IP265HDK-ENC encodes 1080p60 video with efficient H.265/H.264 compression and rides a standard managed Gigabit switch, so display count is set by the network rather than by fixed matrix port count. Housed in a compact 8.03 x 3.74 x 0.85 in (204 x 95 x 21.5 mm) metal enclosure and powered over PoE (802.3af Class 3, approximately 3.48 W) straight from the switch, it rack-mounts up to ten units in a 6U frame or four across a 1U panel for high-density headends. It is the right choice for distribution, KVM and signage jobs where reach, per-seat cost and density matter more than 4K. On that same 1G fabric it supports point-to-point extension, multicast distribution, distributed matrix switching and video walls up to 9x9, with intelligent wall-layout management and main-stream/sub-stream encoding for low-bandwidth preview or capture. A USB host port and two USB device ports deliver one-to-one and one-to-many USB/KVM, while bidirectional IR and RS-232 (pass-through and Guest mode) carry control to attached equipment, and an HDMI local loop-out feeds a confidence monitor without consuming a decoder. Streams are configured from the built-in Web GUI or a KanexPro Controller Box, and control runs over IR, RS-232, TCP/IP, Web GUI or controller. As the transmit half of a split encoder/decoder architecture, it lets integrators order the exact encoder-to-decoder ratio each jo

Questions
- What color depth does the AVO-IP265HDK-ENC accept on its HDMI input?
- The AVO-IP265HDK-ENC accepts 8-bit, 10-bit, or 12-bit input at 1080p@60Hz. Its output is 8-bit.
- What audio format and sample rates does the AVO-IP265HDK-ENC handle?
- It handles LPCM 2.0CH at 32, 44.1, or 48 kHz, with audio embedding and extraction.
- What control methods can drive the AVO-IP265HDK-ENC?
- It can be controlled by IR, RS-232, TCP/IP, Web GUI, and a Controller Box.
- Can the AVO-IP265HDK-ENC do matrix switching without a Controller Box?
- Yes. The AVO-IP265HDK-ENC supports single-machine control, so you can perform matrix switching using local IR or RS-232 without a Controller Box.
- How is the AVO-IP265HDK-ENC powered?
- It can be powered by the included DC 12V/1A locking adapter, or by PoE (802.3af Class 3, PD mode) from the network switch. When the switch supplies PoE, the DC adapter is not needed.
- What must the network switch support for the AVO-IP265HDK-ENC?
- The switch should be a Layer-3 / managed type with gigabit bandwidth. It must have multicast enabled, IGMP snooping enabled, and filtering of unregistered multicast traffic enabled.
- The AVO-IP265HDK-ENC LINK LED is flashing quickly (5 Hz) and there is no picture. What is wrong?
- A 5 Hz flash means the network is connected but the input signal is incompatible, above 1920x1200 or above 60 fps. Lower the source to within 1920x1200 at 60 Hz or less; a solid green LINK LED confirms a compatible signal is present.
- The AVO-IP265HDK-ENC LINK LED flashes at 2 Hz. What should I check?
- A 2 Hz flash means the network is connected but there is no video input. Check the HDMI source and the HDMI IN connection; the LINK LED goes solid once a compatible signal arrives.
- This is 1080p, not 4K - why choose it over a 4K AV-over-IP system?
- Because most distribution, KVM and signage jobs are 1080p, and paying 4K endpoint prices on every source is wasted budget. This encoder delivers switched HDMI, KVM and control on a standard 1G switch at a 1080p per-seat price. For jobs that genuinely need 4K, the KanexPro AVO-IP265-4K transceiver is
- What network does it need?
- A standard managed 1G (Gigabit) switch with multicast/IGMP snooping configured. It supports point-to-point, multicast distribution, distributed matrix and video wall on that switch - no proprietary chassis. Confirm the switch's PoE budget and multicast settings during design.
