1. INTRODUCTION
This HDBaseT 2.0 Transmitter is designed for use in environments
needing a wide range of exibility when it comes to inputs, outputs,
and control. The three most common video input interfaces (HDMI,
DisplayPort, and VGA w/stereo audio) are included, providing
the ultimate in source compatibility and exibility. The HDMI and
DisplayPort inputs support resolution/timing up to a maximum of
4K@60Hz (4:4:4, 8-bit) which is converted, when appropriate and
necessary, for transmission over HDBaseT. The selected source
(video & audio) can be transmitted over Cat.6/7 cable up to 100m
along with bi-directional Ethernet, RS-232, USB, and IR. Due to the
matrixing capability of this unit, any source may also be selected
for independent output over the local HDMI output. The included
microphone input, with optional 48V/5V phantom power support,
feeds directly into a DSP mixer, allowing for powerful presentations
with live voice-overs mixed with the source’s original audio or even an
impromptu karaoke session.
When paired with this unit’s standard Receiver, up to 3 switchable USB
2.0 host (Type B) connections are available (2 on the Transmitter, 1 on
the Receiver) which connect to 6 USB 2.0 (Type A) device ports (3 on
the Transmitter, 3 on the Receiver) for a multi-source, bi-directional,
and highly exible KVM conguration (Note: Only 1 USB host may
be active at a time). This Transmitter also provides an interface for
a remote control keypad, or trigger interface, which can be easily
installed within a podium or table in a conference room or classroom.
This Transmitter may be powered locally using a standard power
supply, or it can be powered via PoH (Power over HDBaseT) provided
by a compatible Receiver (PSE), allowing for greater exibility within
different installation scenarios. This unit is controllable via front panel
controls, WebGUI, Telnet, Triggers, and RS-232.
