100-METER HDBT EXTENDER TRANSMITTER
INTRODUCTIONS
DUX-MTX is an HDBT Extender Transmitter accommodating both VGA and HDMI Inputs
and is able to transmit 1080P@60Hz with 48 bit Deep Color HD Audio up to 100m/328ft
and Ultra HD 4K signal up to 70m/230ft.
DUX-MTX features an automatic switching between VGA Input and HDMI Input, with
HDMI Input enjoying the priority when both Inputs are active.
A/V transmission, bi-directional IR and RS232 control and Ethernet pass-through over
one signal Cat6a/7 cable provides an added level of convenience. A CONFIG Switch
allows users to quick change its operation mode for data transmission or firmware
upgrading. An EDID Switch is also available for immediate EDID setting adjustment while
communication or compatibility becomes an issue.
Fully compliant with HDMI 1.4, compatible with HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2, DUX-MTX
offers an excellent solution to commercial or residential environments where switching
between VGA and HDMI over distance is required.
