EN300
Yealink EN300 AV-over-IP Encoder for 4K Video
The Yealink EN300 is an AVoIP encoder that sends 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 video over Gigabit Ethernet with latency of 16 ms. It offers native Dante AV-A, automatic switching between sources and a USB Type-C port that charges a laptop at up to 60W. It suits Doha boardrooms and lecture rooms that route presentations across a network.
What the Yealink EN300 does in a meeting room
The Yealink EN300 is an AV-over-IP encoder. It takes a source such as a laptop connected to its USB Type-C port, or a device on one of its HDMI inputs, converts it into a network stream and sends that stream to decoders elsewhere in the building. A presentation can then appear on a display in another room without long HDMI cables running through walls and ceilings.
Video is encoded at up to 4K@60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling and 8-bit colour depth. The datasheet describes latency as less than one frame, and the product page quotes 16 ms. Bit rate stays below 1Gbps, and the unit is designed for Gigabit networks.
Inputs, outputs and automatic switching
The unit offers two HDMI inputs and a full-featured USB Type-C port. Its outputs include an IP stream to the network, an HDMI output with CEC support, and a stereo analog audio output that can be balanced or unbalanced. When more than one source is connected, the EN300 switches between them automatically, so the presenter does not have to choose an input before each meeting.
- Video: up to 4K@60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma and HDCP 2.3 support.
- Audio: LPCM, AES67 and Dante formats, with native Dante AV-A support.
- Control: RS232 at up to 115200 baud and an IR output for displays.
- USB: USB Type-C for BYOM and content sharing, two USB 3.0 Type-B ports and one USB 3.0 Type-A port.
Dante, USB-C and remote control
Dante AV-A is built in, but Dante Ready features are switched on as needed, and the product page notes that the Dante AV function requires an extra license. Confirm the licence scope when you request a quote if your audio runs over a Dante network.
The USB-C port can supply up to 60W to a laptop while the laptop shares its screen, so a presenter needs only one cable. Multiple USB interfaces let a local keyboard and mouse control a connected computer, and USB over IP supports remote device control across the network.
Power, mounting and Qatar conditions
The EN300 accepts PoE+ (802.3at, class 4) or its 19V/4.74A power adapter. Average consumption is 11 W and standby draw is 4.5 W. It can be installed in a rack, under a desk, on a desktop, or on a wall or flat surface using the included mounting kit. At 216 x 160 x 36 mm and 1.24 kg, it is compact enough for a credenza.
The operating range is -10 to +45°C with 10 to 95% humidity. Summer temperatures in Doha regularly rise above 45°C, so avoid unventilated cabinets near windows or heat-producing equipment. An air-conditioned comms room or a ventilated AV rack is the safer choice.
Where it fits in Qatar
- Boardrooms in West Bay or Msheireb: presenters connect at the table, and the stream reaches a display in an adjacent meeting room.
- Lecture theatres in Education City: the lectern laptop feeds overflow rooms across the campus network.
- Hotel conference floors in Lusail: one encoder per room, with control from a room panel over RS232 or IR.
Planning a Yealink EN300 installation
Before ordering, check that the switch ports are Gigabit and that cable runs use CAT5e or higher, up to 100 metres. Decide whether the encoder will be powered by PoE+ or by its adapter, and confirm where the supplied 1.8 m HDMI and USB-C cables will reach. Ask your network team to confirm that multicast and DHCP are permitted on the segment.
SmartRooms Qatar offers a free site survey to check cable routes, rack space and an air-conditioned location before installation. Quotations are usually issued within one working day, and we accept purchase orders (LPOs) and government tenders. Request a quote for the EN300 and include your room layout so the quotation reflects the cabling and power you need.
