INTRODUCTION
The HDR-ULTRA is a High Definition video router that enables users to route HD signals up to 425 feet over
CAT 5e/ cables, providing the ultimate solution to create clean and efficient video and digital signage
systems in configurations up to 1 x1 .
Pristine high definition video has become the standard for entertainment, video systems and digital
signage, but HD video routing has been confined by the necessity of short, bulky and unsightly cables. The
HDR-ULTRA, utilizing HDBaseT technology, breaks the distance limits that have tethered users as it
facilitates the routing of crystal clear 1080p HD video, multi-channel audio, Ethernet, IR and power up to
an incredible 425 feet through the use of inexpensive CAT 5e/ cables. With unprecedented flexibility and
convenience, the HDR-ULTRA is overhauling the old challenges of HD Matrix routers with an elegant and
easy-to-install solution.
The HDR-ULTRA can direct as many as 1 HD inputs and 1 HD outputs effortlessly. Routing HD signals
across long distances from the user-friendly HDR-ULTRA exponentially increases users’ ability to create the
ideal digital video and audio experience in any environment.
