Emerge® MPX1500
Wireless HD Multipoint Extender
MPX1500: High-definition audio and video
The Avocent Emerge MPX 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.
