Black Box: video extender without power supply for unlimited digital signage

Hallbergmoos, June 27, 2012 – The Wizard Multimedia Extender LP from Black Box, the IT and communications specialist, is now also available as a 4-port version. With it, contents can be distributed to up to four displays and viewed at the transmitter via local video. Like the point-to-point variant, it doesn’t require a power supply: the receiver units receive their power via the Cat cable, the transmitter units via the USB interface of the CPU. Without the need for power outlets near its installation site, the Wizard Multimedia Extender is thus especially flexible to use. With its minimal installation requirements, the extender series is therefore ideal for small businesses and public buildings.

The extender transmits video information at a resolution of 1360 x 768 without loss over a distance of 150 meters. As a dongle, the device is extremely compact, allowing it to be used in places where little space is available. The new 4-port broadcaster provides clients with the flexibility necessary to distribute the same contents to four different screens for effective advertising and maximum attention gathering. “Even from smaller retail outlets, we notice an increasing demand for digital signage solutions with more than one screen. Our Wizard Multimedia Extender LP addresses exactly this market,“ Axel Bürger, Managing Director of Black Box Deutschland GmbH, explains. “Because of the device’s minimal installation and spatial requirements, anybody can benefit from the positive marketing effects of digital advertising and information systems.“
