1. INTRODUCTION
This 4K UHD+HDMI over HDBaseT transmitter and receiver pair uses
HDBaseT 3.0, the newest generation of HDBaseT technology, and is the
perfect solution for extending full bandwidth (18Gbps) HDMI 2.0, 4K@60Hz
(4:4:4, 8-bit) video with HD audio via a single run of Cat.6A/7 cable over
distances of up to 100 meters. Multiple control and data signals may also be
transmitted along with the audio and video, including bi-directional IR, RS-
232, USB 2.0, and Gigabit Ethernet.
When the transmitter and receiver are used together, 2 micro USB host
connections are available (1 on the transmitter, 1 on the receiver) for
connecting a single USB host (such as a laptop or PC) to devices on up to
4 USB 2.0 (Type-A) ports (2 on the transmitter, 2 on the receiver) forming
a highly exible KVM extension conguration. This transmitter and receiver
pair is ideal for use in any video extension scenario, but they excel when
latency-free, uncompressed, high resolution video is critical, such as medical
installations, live conferences, and education.
