PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Cabletronix CT-HDVD-LINK is the perfect solution for HDMI signal distribution applications
where an HDMI cable cannot be runt between the HDMI source and viewing location. The
CT-HDVD-LINK kit includes a transmitter that connects to the HDMI source and a receiver that
mounts on the HDMI display for wireless connection of source video and audio content (e.g., a
satellite receiver, PC, game console, set-top box, etc.) to any high-definition digital TV, LCD
display or projector. Thus an installer can create an uncluttered home-entertainment environment
or projector mounting without the hassle of cables. Features include 128-bit AES encryption for
secure wireless video transmission; 40 meter LOS transmission system; 20-30ms system latency;
infrared blasting; and support for 802.11h DFS, HDMI 13, HDCP 1.1/1.2, and CEC.
