VRX020: Netplay Video Media Player with Audio

Model VRX020       

SOLD OUT and replaced with VRX040 4K video distribution

NetPlay AV allows you to distribute live content protected HDMI content across your standard Ethernet home network.  This next generation technology will completely replace HDMI matrix switching, delivering new features, flexibility, and an integrated user experience.

Video Storm Netplay Video makes your installation headache free and give your customers access to more live, stored, and cloud media than anyone else.

VRX series is the TV mounted unit in our Netplay video and audio live streaming solutions.  One VRX020 is used for each TV in the system.
