If you’re researching an HDMI over IP matrix switcher, you’re already on the right track. These systems send video over a network instead of long HDMI cables. DisplayHUB takes this same concept further, removing expensive hardware and replacing it with a flexible, software-based system that works with Roku, Fire TV, Samsung, LG, and Android TV devices.

What Is an HDMI Over IP Matrix Switcher?

An HDMI over IP matrix switcher is a system that sends HDMI video signals over a network using encoders and decoders instead of direct cables. It allows you to route multiple sources to multiple screens across a building using standard network infrastructure.

While this solves the distance and cabling problem of traditional HDMI matrix systems, it still requires specialized hardware, configuration, and cost. DisplayHUB delivers the same core functionality with fewer components, easier setup, and far more flexibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is DisplayHUB an HDMI over IP matrix switcher?

DisplayHUB uses the same core concept as an HDMI over IP matrix switcher, but replaces dedicated hardware with a flexible software-based system.

What is the difference between HDMI matrix and HDMI over IP?

A traditional HDMI matrix uses physical HDMI cables, while HDMI over IP sends video over a network. DisplayHUB removes both limitations by using a network-based system without specialized matrix hardware.

Do I need encoders and decoders?

No. DisplayHUB works with common streaming devices like Roku and Fire TV instead of requiring specialized encoder and decoder hardware.

Can DisplayHUB scale to many TVs?

Yes. Unlike traditional systems with fixed outputs, DisplayHUB can scale to as many screens as your network supports.

Is this better than an AV over IP system?

DisplayHUB builds on the same concept as AV over IP systems but simplifies deployment and reduces cost significantly.
