1. Introduction
This 18Gbps HDMI Extender can extend high definition video / audio signal,
RS-232, bi-directional IR, and the distance is up to 492ft / 150 meters for 1080p
& 394ft / 120 meters for 4K between transmitter and receiver via a single CAT
cable. It supports resolution up to 4K2K@60Hz 4:4:4, 18Gbps and HDCP
2.2. One HDMI loop port is available for output. It also supports de-embeded
audio for L/R audio output and PoC function. In addition, the extender is
equipped with two-way IR pass-through which allows for source and display
control.
This HDMI extender includes two units: transmitter unit and receiver unit. The
transmitter unit is responsible for capturing HDMI input signal and carries the
signal via one cost effective Cat5e/6 cable, and transmitting / emitting IR
control signals. The receiver unit is responsible for receiving the HDMI signal
and transmitting / emitting IR control signal.
The extender offers the most convenient solution for HDMI extension via a
single Cat5e/6 with long distance capability, and is the perfect solution for
any application.
