Linear EXT-ADA-LAN-TX Digital and Analog Audio over IP - Sender Package
- Extends digital and analog audio, RSZ-232, and IR, using a Gigabit Local Area Network
- Independent audio, RS-232, and IR routing
- Backward-compatible with first generation Gefen AV over IP products
- Analog L/R, Coaxial Digital, and Optical Digital Inputs and Outputs
- MFU (Mass-Firmware-Update), quick and automated configuration, and enhanced control capabilities and system security when used with the Gefen EXT-CU-LAN Matrix Controller

Gefen's AV over IP solutions continue tradition of providing high performance, scalable, expandable, and secure AV routing and distribution over a standard Gigabit Local Area Network. The Digital and Analog Audio over IP Sender (EXT-ADA-LAN-TX) and Receiver (EXT-ADA-LAN-RX) are new additions to Gefen's family of AV over IP products, offering a much-needed audio-only option for background music, public announcements, and other applications where stand-alone audio needs to be distributed through the AV system. Audio input and output options include L/R Analog, Coaxial Digital, and Optical Digital. When using the digital inputs and outputs, 2-channel PCM and up to 5.1 channels of Bitstream can be distributed through the system. In addition to audio, RS-232 and 2-way IR can also be independently routed and distributed for source and amplifier control. The entire Gen 2.0 product line, including the audio models, feature backward-compatibility with Gefen's first-generation products.
