CH-1536TX HDMI over HDBaseT Transmitter with IR/RS-232 & LAN

This HDMI over single Cat.5e/6/7 Transmitter is a great solution for extending uncompressed HD audio and video as well as Ethernet and control via a single run of Cat.5e/6/7 cable over distances of up to 100 meters. Multiple data and control interfaces are provided, including IR, RS-232 and LAN connections. Despite HDBaseT’s 10Gbps bandwidth limitation, 4K UHD HDMI video, up to and including 4K@60Hz (4:4:4), is able to be processed and extended by subsampling 4:4:4 color to 4:2:0 and reducing bit depth when necessary. Beyond video, data, and control this unit also includes useful audio features. The Optical Audio Return (OAR) feature supports transmitting optical audio from a compatible Receiver back to the Transmitter for local playback. An audio insertion feature is also included, allowing for stereo analog audio to be embedded into the HDBaseT output signal. Rounding out the feature set is robust EDID management as well as automatic HDBaseT clock stretching and TMDS re-clocking support. Compatible Receivers (PD) may be powered by 48V PoH provided by this Transmitter (PSE), allowing for greater flexibility within different installation scenarios.
