The AT-UHD-EX-70C-TX is HDCP 2.2 compliant and supports EDID communication.
This HDBaseT transmitter is externally powered by the included power supply, making it ideal for extending AV and control directly to a projector with an HDBaseT input.
The AT-UHD-EX-70C-TX provides a value-oriented integration solution for simple point-to-point signal extension to a display, or expanding the scope of an AV system design with remote input connectivity.
