Overview
Introduction
The Extended Range HDMI and IR Extender drives your HD display with resolu-
tions of 1080p/60 Hz up to 328 feet (100 meters) away from your HDMI® or DVI-D
source using one CAT5e/6 cable. A built-in IR extender function allows IR
remote control of source devices from a remote viewing location. To do this,
the extender sends IR commands received near the display back to the source
devices.
Features
- Supports HDCP.
- Supports uncompressed HDMI signals.
- Enables HDMI 10.2 Gbps over a single 328-ft. (100-m) CAT5e/6 cable.
- Supports 340-MHz/3.4-Gbps per channel (10.2 Gbps all channels) bandwidth.
- Supports 1080p @ 60 Hz @ 48-bit pixels.
- Enables 3D pass-through.
- Supports CEC pass-through.
- Works with uncompressed audio such as LPCM.
- Supports compressed audio such as DTS® Digital, Dolby® Digital, including DTS-HD® and Dolby True HD®.
- A built-in IR extender function allows IR remote control of source devices from a remote viewing location by sending IR commands received in the vicinity of the display back to the source devices.
- CAT5e/6 cable should conform to the IEEE-568B standard.
