Introduction
OVERVIEW
- The ULTRA-4K is comprised of the ULTRA-4K-S Sender and the ULTRA- 4K-R Receiver. The system is used to extend USB 2.0 and dual display HDMI video supporting various resolutions including 1080p @ 60 Hz and 4K UHD @ 30 Hz. Dual video and USB can be extended to one or more Receivers up to a distance of 100 m (328 ft.) over a single CAT6 cable.
- The Sender features two HDMI inputs and one USB input for connection to a dual-head PC. It provides two local HDMI outputs (corresponding to the two HDMI inputs) and features an internal USB hub with two local USB outputs. Additionally, there are three separate RJ45 output ports to extend video and USB to multiple remote locations.
- The Receiver provides two HDMI outputs and 6 USB ports. Two of the USB ports are labeled for use with keyboard and mouse; however, they can also be connected to other USB devices such as KVM switches or touchscreen displays if desired.
- For connection of other USB devices such as printers or scanners, four additional general-purpose USB 2.0 ports are available. For security purposes, USB memory devices are not supported by default. If you want to enable USB memory support, please contact Hall Technologies.
- In a setup with one sender going to only one Receiver, the USB ports automatically pair with the Sender. However, when there are more than one ULTRA-4K Receiver connected to the same sender, only one Receiver can be paired at a given time. Pairing is accomplished using a push button on the front panel of the Receiver. A corresponding LED next to the button indicates USB pairing status with the Sender.
- Each Receiver features an RJ45 “LINK OUT” port that can be daisy- chained to down-stream Receivers. All signals are re-buffered, so the LINK OUT port can drive cables to 100 meters long.
- It is important to note that the RJ45 output ports (on the Sender or the Receiver), can also be connected to ULTRA-V Receivers. ULTRA-V Receivers provide only one video output and no USB. The ULTRA-V Receivers show Video A by default; however, they can be configured to display Video B if desired. Please refer to the ULTRA-V User’s Manual for further details.
FEATURES

- Connect the PC USB to the ULTRA-4K-S port marked “USB IN” using a USB cable.
- Optionally, connect HDMI displays to HDMI A/B OUT ports, and USB peripherals to the USB LOCAL ports.
- Using a CAT6 able, connect the ULTRA-4K-S “link out” port to the ULTRA-4K-R “link in” port.
- Connect remote HDMI displays to the ULTRA-4K-R HDMI A and HDMI B output ports.
- Connect keyboard, mouse, KVM Switch, or touchscreens to the ULTRA-4K-R ports marked as KBRD/MOUSE

While HDMI is the most widely adopted video standard, there are a number of computer and display manufacturers that rely on DisplayPort for higher resolutions such as 2560 or 4K. Hall Technologies offers 4K compatible adapters to convert between these two video standards.
Note : These adapters are unidirectional. For example, the DisplayPort to HDMI adapter cannot convert a HDMI signal to DisplayPort.
- To connect to a source (PC) with DisplayPort output, use GC-DP-HD.
Virtually all monitor and TV’s have HDMI (or DVI) inputs. But if your display only has a display port input, the following adapter convers HDMI to DP.
