1. INTRODUCTION
This Transceiver is designed for high-quality, IP routable, AV extension
with minimum latency. Every Transceiver is capable of simultaneous bi-
directional AV extension, enhancing the exibility of any installation. By
using a sophisticated ultra-light compression scheme (lossless for most
content) it’s a great solution for extending 4K audio/video streams (HDMI
or DisplayPort) and data. Advanced HDMI content such as HDR (High
Dynamic Range), 10-bit colour and multi-channel HD Bitstream audio
can be transmitted in pass-through mode. The use of high quality 10
Gigabit Ethernet ports and Cat.6A or better cable allows for point-to-point
transmission distances up to 100m. Multiple control and data signals may
also be transmitted along with the audio and video, including IR, RS-232,
USB (HID only), and Ethernet.
The built-in EDID and HDCP management functionality enables the unit
to t into every situation. Basic conguration of the unit can be achieved
via front panel buttons with an OSD (On-Screen Display).
2. APPLICATIONS
Video, Audio, LAN, IR, and USB (HID only) over 10GbE extension

6.6 Basic AV Extension
6.6.1 Point-to-Point (One Way)
The most basic extension configuration available is a point-to-
point system with a single transceiver unit acting as a transmitter
connected directly to a single transceiver unit acting as a receiver. In this
configuration the HDMI/DP input on the transmitter side is transmitted
to the connected receiver side without modification to the audio or video
format. The analogue stereo audio input on the transmitter transfers
audio directly to the analogue stereo audio output on the receiver. The
LAN, RS-232 and IR ports form direct connections between transmitter
and receiver as well. This configuration is ideal for basic video extension
as well as remote KVM applications.
TX RX
CAT6A Cable
Note: This configuration does not use or require an external control center
such as the IP Master Controller to function. No audio insertion/extraction is
performed in this configuration.
6.6.2 Point-to-Point (Bi-directional)
Another basic extension configuration is a bi-directional point-to-point
system with the transceiver units at each end acting as both transmitter
and receiver. In this configuration the HDMI/DP input on each side is
transmitted to the opposite end of the connection for output without
modification to the audio or video format. The analogue audio, LAN,
RS-232 and IR ports form direct connections between both ends as well.
This configuration is ideal for long distance, secure, fixed-point video
conferencing
applications. TX
