Introduction
The CT-HDVD-EXT-IR120 is an HDMI extender that utilizes CAT-5E/6 cable as
transmission media.
Benefits from using the CT-HDVD-EXT-IR120:
1) The length of an HDMI cable is limited due to technical reasons. The
CT-HDVD-EXT-IR120 allows the user to extend the reach of an HDMI
signal up to 120 feet.
2) By using the CT-HDVD-EXT-IR120, the transmission distance for 1080P
reaches up to 120 feet.
3) The CT-HDVD-EXT-IR120 has the ability of buffering and amplifying the
signal for the best quality. Connecting two CT-HDVD-EXT-IR120 in series
(Daisy chained) achieves a longer distance transmission of the HDMI
signal.
4) The CT-HDVD-EXT-IR120 allows for IR system control from the
destination back to the source.
