DaisyNET II is a cascadable, 4K multiformat extender for various AV signals, Ethernet and control commands. Using HDBaseT technology, DaisyNET II can distribute these signals via a CAT cable over a distance of up to 100 meters from device to device without quality loss or any visible latency.

Usually you would need two separate devices - a transmitter and a receiver. DaisyNET II combines both in one device: the DaisyNET II transceiver (TRX). For applications where several sinks with different resolutions and aspect ratios are being used, the DaisyNET II family will be completed by a 4K scaling receiver (SRX) in late 2016.

The DaisyNET II TRX features four AV inputs: 1x HDMI, 1x DisplayPort and 1x analog RGB (VGA) plus analog stereo audio and one HDBaseT input on the rear. The outputs (1x HDBaseT and 1x HDMI ) are also located on the rear. An analog audio output jack delivers the de-embedded stereo audio signal from the HDMI output.

One of the unique features of DaisyNET II is its cascadability: You can daisychain up to 32 units which allows the user to show a source signal on several sinks at the same time (point to multipoint).

DaisyNET II features another unparalleled function: You can close the daisychain to a ring by connecting the last TRX with a CAT cable to the first TRX. Now all TRX units in this ring topology show the signal of a source TRX, no matter where it is located in the ring. This is ideal for applications like class rooms, training rooms, etc.

Another great feature is designed for large, separable conference rooms: The grouping mode. This allows the user to logically divide a large installation into several independent sub-groups.

The DaisyNET II TRX has two Ethernet ports: The front port is intended for the user´s PC, the rear port can be used to connect one TRX to a local network which then provides a 100MBit Ethernet infrastructure for all the other TRX units via HDBaseT.

Each TRX has three Phoenix connectors for external contact closures which allows the user to select one of the front inputs directly. And to make it even more comfortable, DaisyNET II now also features auto-switching for the inputs on the front. The ShowME button can be used to toggle between connected inputs. This feature can be combined with another new and unique feature: The TRX can power sinks up and down automatically as soon as the first source is connected or the last source is disconnected.

LEDs on the front show the currently active input, Phoenix connectors on the rear support external LEDs. A separate "LocateME" LED on the front helps to locate a specific TRX unit in a large installation: A click on a button in the web interface of a TRX unit activates the flashing LocateME LED.
