Introduction
This 18Gbps HDMI Extender can extend high-definition video/audio signal, RS-232, and bi-directional IR. The distance is up to 492ft / 150 meters between the transmitter and receiver via a single CAT cable. It supports resolutions up to 4K2K@60Hz 4:4:4, 18Gbps, and HDCP 2.2. One HDMI loop port is available for output. The extender also supports de-embedded audio for L/R audio output. In addition, the extender is equipped with a two-way IR pass- through, which allows for source and display control. This HDMI extender includes two units: a transmitter unit and a receiver unit. The transmitter unit is responsible for capturing the HDMI input signal and carrying the sign via one cost-effective Cat5e/6 cable and transmitting/emitting IR control signals. The receiver unit is responsible for receiving the HDMI signal and transmitting/emitting the IR control signal. The extender offers the most convenient solution for HDMI extension via a single Cat5e/6 with long-distance capability and is the perfect solution for any application.
