The extender includes two units: transmitting unit and
receiving unit. The transmitting unit is used to capture
the HDMI input with IR signals and carries the signals
via one cost eective Cat5e/6 cable. The receiving unit is
responsible for equalizing the transmitted HDMI signal
and reconstructing IR control signals. The extender oers
the most convenient solution for HDMI extension over
a single Cat5e/6 with long distance capability, and is the
perfect solution for any application.
