1. Getting Started
The Pacific X-HDU allows transmission of HDMI video/audio signal, extend keyboard/mouse, and IR
(infrared signal) over standard Cat-5e/6 (shielded*) cable. Consisting of an HDMI transmitter, the Pacific
X-HDUT (TX) and an HDMI receiver-Pacific X-HDUR (RX) that allows transmission of 1080p60 HD over
100 meters based on HDBaseT®technology. Moreover, KVM (keyboard and mouse) and IR features
can be extended as well through Pacific X-HDU. Extend application with Pacific X-HDU no matter where
the remote/monitored device is. Pacific X-HDU also supports HID (Human Interface Device) which allow
connection to a touch screen for controlling the remote device easily.
This chapter introduces the features and specifications as well as the external components of Avitech
Pacific X-HDUT/R.
Avitech recommends using a shielded twisted pair (STP) or screened fully shielded twisted pair (SFTP)
cat.5e/6 cable while using Avitech Pacific X-HDU for signal extension and KVM control.
