Product Information

Full details

The Lindy 4K30 HDMI & USB over IP System - Decoder (38397) is designed for users needing to extend HDMI video, audio, and USB KVM signals over a network for distributed AV and KVM installations. Its key benefit is the flexibility to create scalable, custom video walls and matrix setups. A key consideration is that this is a modular system, and the Encoder and Controller modules are sold separately.

FAQs

What is the maximum distance for this system?

The maximum transfer distance for HDMI and USB signals over a standard 1G network using Cat6 cables is 100 meters between the Encoder and Decoder modules.

Do I need to buy the Encoder and Controller modules separately?

Yes, the Lindy 4K30 HDMI & USB over IP System is modular. The Decoder module (38397) requires a separate Encoder module (38396) and optionally a Controller module (38395) for full functionality and scalability. All modules are sold individually.

Can I power the Decoder module without the included power adapter?

Yes, the unit supports Power over Ethernet (PoE). If your network switch is PoE-enabled (IEEE 802.3af), you can power the Decoder module directly through the Ethernet cable, simplifying installation.

What type of network switch is required?

A Layer 3 1G managed network switch is required. It must support IGMP snooping and 8K Jumbo frames for reliable multicast and high-bandwidth data transmission.

Does this system support audio transmission?

Yes, the system supports HDMI audio transmission along with video, USB, RS-232, and IR signals.

What is the warranty period for this product?

This product comes with a 2-year warranty.

Can I create video walls with this system?

Yes, by combining multiple Decoder modules and their connected displays, you can create impressive video wall configurations. The Controller module is used to manage these setups.

Troubleshooting

No video signal on the display

Verify that the HDMI source is connected to the Encoder and the display is connected to the Decoder. Ensure both modules are powered on and have network connectivity. Check the network switch configuration for IGMP snooping. Confirm that the Encoder and Decoder are paired correctly via the Controller or Web GUI.

USB KVM control is not working

Ensure the USB devices are connected to the USB Type-A ports on the Decoder. Check that the USB KVM function is enabled in the Web GUI. Verify that the connected PC at the Encoder end is powered on and has the correct operating system drivers installed (if necessary).

Poor video quality or stuttering

Check the network connection quality and bandwidth. Ensure you are using Cat6 cables and that the network switch is configured correctly. Try reducing the resolution or frame rate if possible, or consider using the H.264/H.265 secondary stream if the network is a bottleneck.

Unit not powering on (without PoE)

Confirm that the DC power adapter is securely connected to the unit and the wall outlet. Check that the operating voltage (12V) and output current (1A) of the power adapter match the product specifications. Try a different power outlet.

Unable to access Web GUI

Ensure the Decoder module is connected to the network and has obtained an IP address. Use a network scanning tool to find the IP address if it's not known. Verify that your computer is on the same network subnet as the Decoder. Check firewall settings.
