1. Introduction
The DIGITUS HDMI Extender Set enables HDMI signal transmission
over a distance of up to 70 m (4K/30Hz). The extender set supports
UHD resolution (4K2K/60 Hz, 4:4:4, 18 Gbps) over a CAT 6/7/8 cable
(60m distance). Thanks to PoC, only one unit needs to be supplied
with power by an external power adapter. HDR, HDCP support as
well as automatic EDID detection are also included as features. Using
the HDMI loop-out to the transmitter unit, a local monitor can be
connected in order to monitor the output to the receiver.
