Black Box MCX G2 DisplayPort Copper/Fiber Transcoder for 4K Video Distribution

The Black Box MCX G2 DisplayPort Copper/Fiber Transcoder offers a versatile solution for high-quality video distribution across various professional settings. Designed to support uncompressed 4K60 4:4:4 UHD video, this device ensures crystal-clear image quality with zero latency, making it ideal for secure video conferencing, digital signage in hotels and convention centers, multi-monitor broadcasting, distributed video matrix systems, and remote KVM control. Its compatibility with both copper Ethernet and fiber SFP+ modules provides flexible deployment options for short or extended distances, with transmission capabilities reaching up to 30 kilometers over fiber depending on the SFP+ module used.

The MCX G2 Transcoder allows configuration as either an encoder or decoder, streamlining integration into existing AV networks. It features a DisplayPort output that delivers pristine 4K60 UHD video via a secure latching connector, along with HDMI or DisplayPort inputs for versatile source connectivity. The device transmits and switches video, audio, IR, RS-232, and USB 2.0 signals over IP networks, ensuring seamless multi-source and multi-display setups. Its compact design, combined with front-panel buttons and an On-Screen Display (OSD), facilitates quick setup and straightforward management, whether in a control room or on the go.

Additional features include a local DisplayPort output for on-site video monitoring, enabling operators to view source content directly or perform latency comparisons. The integrated USB hub can be configured via front-panel or software controls to support multi-user control room applications or on-demand systems. When paired with the optional MCX Gen2 Controller, multiple transcoders can be combined with 10-Gigabit Ethernet switches to create a dynamic and scalable video wall or distributed matrix system. This device's lossless compression ensures high fidelity for most content, making it suitable for professional-grade AV installations requiring reliable, real-time video transmission over long distances.

Designed and manufactured in Taiwan, the Black Box MCX G2 Transcoder comes with a 2-year Double Diamond™ warranty, ensuring durability and performance. Its comprehensive package includes the transcoder itself, power supply, power cord, IR emitter and receiver, and a terminal block for easy connection setup. Whether deploying in a control room, conference facility, or multimedia environment, this device provides a robust, flexible, and high-quality solution for advanced AV distribution needs.
