The Atlona AT-OPUS-70C-KIT is an HDBaseT™ transmitter/receiver kit for HDMI transmission up to 230 feet (70 meters) over category cable with RS-232 and IR control plus Power over Ethernet capability. The kit transmits video signals up to 4K/UHD @ 60Hz with embedded multi-channel audio and remote 48V power for the receiver. HDCP 2.2 compliance ensures compatibility with the latest copy protection requirements and EDID communication is supported. Included brackets allow the devices to be surface mounted on furniture or behind a display. For higher-density applications, the transmitter’s compact enclosure allows four to be mounted in a single 1U rack tray, and they support power chaining for powering multiple units from one power supply. The AT-OPUS 70C-KIT is ideal for use in residential or commercial point-to-point applications that require HDBaseT signal transmission over greater distances than HDMI can support.
