Switch to “STD”: The HDBT Standard Mode (as factory default) is enabled, it can extend 4K60/4K30/1080P signal between the transmitter and the receiver up to 100m via a single CAT6A/7 cable. Switch to “LRM”: The HDBT Long Reach Mode is enabled, it can extend 1080P 8bit signal between the transmitter and the receiver up to 150m via a single CAT6A/7 cable.

Note: In the HDBT Long Reach Mode, due to bandwidth limitations, USB cannot transmit USB 2.0 devices, but only can transmit USB HID devices (such as mice and keyboards).
When using the USB pass-through function, the serial baud rate may also be limited.
