Black Box MCX G2 HDMI Single Encoder - 4K60, Copper

The Black Box MCX G2 HDMI Single Encoder (Part Number: MCXG2EC01) provides reliable high-quality video and data extension solutions for professional AV applications. Designed for seamless integration into complex systems, this encoder supports uncompressed 4K resolution at 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, ensuring pristine image quality without compression artifacts. Its advanced features include HDMI connectivity, 10-Gbps Ethernet, and analog audio outputs, making it suitable for video wall configurations, remote conferencing, and multi-monitor broadcasting environments. The device’s compatibility with the SDVoE standard enables the transmission of up to 10-bit HDR content over standard IP networks, simplifying infrastructure and reducing costs.
The encoder offers effortless setup and management through front-panel buttons and an On-Screen Display (OSD), allowing quick configuration adjustments. Its IP switchability with zero latency (when used with the optional MCX Gen2 Controller) provides dynamic source switching for live applications, with encoding and decoding happening in real-time at approximately 0.03 milliseconds delay. This zero-latency performance ensures synchronized playback across multiple displays, vital for immersive visual experiences. Flexible connectivity options include HDMI and USB-C ports for a variety of input sources, along with IR, RS-232, and USB 2.0 extensions for control and data signals. The device supports local video output, allowing the source signal to be displayed on a local monitor for monitoring purposes.
Compatible with fiber and copper configurations, the MCX G2 encoder can extend signals up to 30 kilometers over fiber, depending on the SFP+ module and fiber type used. Its ultra-light compression technology provides lossless transmission for most content, maintaining the integrity of high-bandwidth signals while minimizing latency. The system is designed for easy deployment in secure, high-performance environments such as corporate boardrooms, hotels, and conference centers. The package includes the MCX G2 HDMI Single Encoder, a 12V/3A power adapter, power cord, IR emitter, and a 3-pin terminal block for comprehensive setup. As part of the MCX Gen2 series, this environmentally friendly device complies with the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive (WEEE) and TAA regulations, ensuring responsible manufacturing and sustainability.
Whether creating a distributed video matrix or managing multi-display environments, the Black Box MCX G2 HDMI Single Encoder offers a robust, scalable solution for high-resolution AV extension and switching needs.
