CHAPTER1SWITCHERSYSTEMOVERVIEW
1.1Introduction
The HSExx (P)/Sxx (P) is an HDBaseT HDMI Distribution Amplifier over one single
CATxcableeachportwithlocaloutputprovidesthemostflexiblesolutionbywhichthe
UltraHD4Kx2Kvideoandhighqualityaudiocanbetransmittedandextendedtoupto
4/8/16differentlocationsoveralongdistancewithzerocompression.
Through a HDMI source, you can transmit the signal to separate output equipments,
thereby minimizing signal attenuation and ensuring high definition, integrating high
fidelitygraphicsandaudiosignaloutput.Throughtheextensibleaccessorydevices,the
HSExx(P)/Sxx(P)cantransmitdataordetectsignaltooverlongdistancesabout100
or70meters.
The HSExx (P)/Sxx (P) is used mainly in TV broadcasting projects, multimedia
conference halls, andlarge display performances, TV teaching and command control
centers. It boastsfeatures of power interruption protection during the power surge as
well as the digital audiovisual signal flawlessly broadcasting and zero compression
extension.TheHSExx(P)/Sxx(P)supportsaHDMITypeAforinput,aHDMITypeAfor

HDBaseTwasdesignedtoprovideUltraHDperformanceupto100/70metersofCat.5e
orsuperiorcables.Inatypicalinstallation,thecableisstretchedtoitsfulllengthbetween
the HDBaseT Transmitter device and the HDBaseT Receiver device. However
sometimes, especially, in demonstrations or in a lab environment, the cable is rolled
randomly in small turns for convenience. The randomly rolled UTP cable suffers
additional signal impairments (compared to straight cable) and therefore the maximal
operating reach might be reduced. When a CATx cable is randomly rolled, it is
recommendedtolimititslengthtoapproximate50meters.RollingaCATxcablearound
