MPX1000 Media Modules

Two types of media modules exist for MPX1000 extenders, as follows:
NOTE: Media modules are not required for MPX1500 extenders.
• Input media modules for MPX1000 transmitters
• Output media modules for MPX1000 receivers (shown below)
Media received from a source device at the input module of the transmitter is processed and passed
to bound receivers where it is properly converted and sent to display devices through the output
media module. Media modules must be installed in all MPX1000 extenders for proper operation.
NOTE: With your MPX1000 unit you have received two snap-on ferrites. If you are using the analog audio (RCA
Jacks) these ferrites should be applied to each end of the cables. Apply the ferrites approximately one inch from
the cable ends. One ferrite goes around both cables.

HDMI media module

The HDMI media module supports both HDMI and DVI-D signalling. HDMI functionality
includes support for HDMI video, embedded audio, EDID passing, digital rights management
(HDCP) and device control (CEC). DVI-D functionality includes video, external audio, EDID
passing and HDCP. DVI-D connectivity requires an DVI-HDMI adapter, which is included with
the media module.
