MuxLab

Founded in 1984 and located in Saint-Laurent, Quebec, MuxLab specializes in manufacturing and designing connectivity and distribution solutions for the professional AV, broadcast, and security markets worldwide. Initially focused on providing reliable and affordable data connectivity and structured cabling solutions, MuxLab revolutionized the AV and Security Surveillance markets by pioneering "baluns", devices that adapt signals for transmission over unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cabling like Cat5e/6. Today, Muxlab specializes in providing AV over IP solutions, offering a wide range of encoders and decoders that support major compression technologies and deliver uncompressed signals up to 4K/60 resolution. MuxLab solutions are utilized in multiple industries and applications, serving broadcasting and live streaming, video conferencing in corporate and educational settings, as well as digital signage installations ranging from corporate to hospitality settings.

Video over Category Cable
MuxLab's Composite over CAT5 extenders are compact baluns designed to transmit standard composite BNC video signals over cost-effective Cat5/6 unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cables, replacing traditional coaxial cables. Ideal for CCTV security systems and residential or commercial AV setups, these extenders support long-distance transmission -- up to 2,200 feet for color video over Cat5e/6 -- while significantly reducing cabling costs and installation complexity. Housed in durable, fire-retardant ABS plastic, they are suitable for various indoor and outdoor environments. Additionally, the extenders are engineered with low return loss to minimize signal degradation, helping reduce noise and interference over extended cable runs.

HDMI Switching
MuxLab offers a wide range of HDMI switchers designed for home entertainment, commercial AV, and digital signage, ranging from basic 4x1 models to advanced matrix switchers capable of routing multiple sources to multiple displays. Supporting high resolution, including 4K at 60Hz and even 8K at 60Hz on select models, they are compatible with advanced video formats like HDR, HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision. Many MuxLab switchers feature audio extraction capabilities, allowing HDMI audio to be routed separately via optical, RCA, or 3.5mm outputs. They also support high-definition audio formats, including LPCM, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, and DTS-HD Master Audio. Control options range from front-panel buttons, IR remotes, RS-232 access, and web-based GUI or TCP/IP control. Additional features, such as HDCP compliance and EDID management, ensure compatibility with protected content and optimal communication between sources and displays.

Dante Networking
Dante protocol is the first choice for networking in multiple industries, and Muxlab's Dante Audio Networking products enable high-quality, low-latency audio transmission, routing, and processing over standard IP networks! This allows professional AV installers to integrate non-Dante-compatible equipment into a Dante network for large-scale installations, such as conference rooms, schools, and hospitality venues. These solutions transmit audio, power (via PoE), and control signals over a single network cable, eliminating common issues like ground loops and interference. Muxlab's Dante products enable the creation of scalable, easily managed audio systems that can be easily reconfigured with Dante.
