Just Add Power shows second generation product for HDMI over IP – new codec and Gigabit port speeds to boot

With the ICC London ExCeL show coming up in June (15-17), C4Central has learned that Just Add Power will be showing it’s second generation of equipment for European launch that we first saw at CEDIA 2009. While the details are slim at this point, we do know that “advancements in processor performance” and “AVC Codecs similar to those used by iTunes store for HD downloads” (and also Blu-ray discs – Editor) afford 1080p streaming with “near lossless results”. More information is due to be available closer to the show date this summer.  If you’re new to Just Add Power’s HDMI over IP and want to learn more, the video we shot from CEDIA last year and the full press release is availble after the break.

“Just Add Power’s proprietary ‘HDMI over IP’ Second‐Generation (2G) technology uses an everyday IP‐ network to stream Full HD 1080p HDMI source transmissions to unlimited display locations. Add a Managed Network Switch and a flexible; virtual, ‘any‐size’ matrix can be created ‐ providing dropout‐ free, instant source switching and impeccable picture quality.

Connectivity UK hosts the European launch of the eagerly anticipated 2G series in London at the CEDIA Home Technology Event 2010, 15‐17 June. Visitors will be able to see the new and improved integrator‐friendly devices in action on Stand A2 by the entrance.

The new 2G feature‐set offers enhanced video performance and improved ease‐of‐use in the field. TCP/IP packet data eases the fastest flow of data travelling through a network and is immune to the skew, distance, interference and resolution issues that affect traditional HDMI extenders and baluns. HDMI over IP is far more robust and can extend an HDMI transmission reliably and consistently much further. Genuine Flexibility, Scalability, and Affordability that no other solution can offer for the Custom Install Professional.

Advancements in processor performance means that HDMI over IP offers near to original HDMI video quality. Similar to the video compression used in iTunes Store HD movie downloads, Just Add Power’s revolutionary technology uses Advanced Video Coding (AVC) to digitally compress the HDMI transmission and achieve huge bit rate savings ‐ enabling 1080p to be streamed across an Ethernet network with near‐lossless results.

Connectivity UK MD, Chris Pinder commented, “We understand why CI’s find this technology hard to believe. CEDIA will put any doubts to bed and showcase that HDMI over IP really is an integrator’s dream.

When you consider the reliability, cost and ease of the solution, its clear why it will become the CI industry standard method for HDMI distribution.”
