Notices LASER SAFETY The average optical output power does not exceed 0 dBm (1mW) under normal operating conditions. Unused optical outputs should be covered to prevent direct exposure to the laser beam. Even though the power of these lasers is low, the beam should be treated with caution and common sense because it is intense and concentrated.

Introduction Overview The IPVU is a compact dual channel IP to HDMI converter that’s perfect for displaying IP sources and multiviewer’s IP outputs on HD and UHD monitors with an HDMI input. The IPVU can be installed on a rack shelf or mounted behind the display, and provides the missing link to view any IP source, or to connect an IP multiviewer’s output to its display.
Introduction Benefits Benefits • Dual channel to optimize switch port bandwidth usage. • Low processing latency for critical monitoring applications. • In-band or out-of-band control for more flexibility. • Clean switch between two IP sources with no video loss (make before break or freeze frame).
