The ATEN VE8952R 4K HDMI over IP Receiver with PoE is a game - changer for AV system integrators. It can transmit visually lossless 4K AV signals over long distances via a standard Gigabit network with low latency. Whether you're setting up a simple point - to - point system or hundreds of endpoints, this receiver offers great flexibility, scalability, and multi - functionality in extender, splitter, matrix switch, and video wall applications. You can easily switch input sources using the top panel pushbuttons and ID display, and configuration is a breeze even without extensive IT knowledge. With an intuitive web GUI, you can log in to any receiver and manage your AV over IP system using drag - and - drop operations. The dedicated app (VE8950/VE8900 Control App) allows for instant preview, monitoring, and switching of video sources, streamlining your operations. Key features include delivering high - quality 4K video up to 30 Hz 4:4:4, using ATEN's advanced lossless video compression technology, and offering different video compression rates for practical usage. It can be located anywhere without additional power cabling, extends AV connections via LAN without distance limits, and is compatible with the ATEN Control System. The built - in scaler can automatically scale incoming video to match connected display devices. Technical specifications cover video output, audio output, connectors, power, control, and environmental and physical properties.

Using the ATEN VE8952R is quite straightforward. First, connect it to your network via the RJ - 45 ports. You can power it using the DC jack or take advantage of Power over Ethernet (PoE) for a cable - free setup. To switch input sources, just use the pushbuttons on the top panel. If you prefer a more digital approach, log in to the web GUI through a browser. The drag - and - drop operation makes system management a piece of cake. You can also use the dedicated app for instant preview and source switching. When it comes to setup, start with a simple point - to - point connection to test the waters. Once you're comfortable, you can expand to a multi - point to multi - point setup. For different display devices, the built - in scaler will adjust the video signal automatically. As for maintenance, keep it in an environment with a temperature between 0 - 40 degrees Celsius and humidity from 0 - 80% non - condensing. Regularly check the connections to ensure stable performance. Avoid exposing it to extreme conditions or physical shocks. If you need to control it using CLI Telnet, RS - 232 protocol, or the Mobile Control App, refer to the ATEN Control System documentation. And that's all you need to know to get the most out of your ATEN VE8952R.
