Overview
4KEX40-eARC is an HDMI 2.0 eARC Extender. It supports 4K@60Hz 4:4:4 with
HDR and HDCP 2.3 compliant, and offers the distribution of uncompressed
UHD video, audio, power, and IR together up to 40m/131ft over a single Cat
6 or above cable. It also supports full eARC function and is backward
compatible with 5.1CH ARC, which enable the kit to configure the eARC/ARC
channel feed by TV (with eARC/ARC supported). With bi-directional IR pass-
through supported, users can control the display at transmitter side or
control the source at receiver side. It supports both static and dynamic HDR
