Advantages
This receiver unit allows users to extend 4K video content up to 120 meters using a single CAT 6 cable in a point-to-point connection. When connected through an existing local network infrastructure using IP connections, the signal transmission distance becomes virtually unlimited, and video content can be distributed to up to 253 individual screens by utilizing additional receivers. The integrated bidirectional IR interface enables convenient remote control of the input source directly from the display location. Housed in a durable black metal casing, the device ensures efficient operation while maintaining a compact footprint that simplifies installation.
Suitable for
- Extending 4K and 1080p video signals over long distances in commercial or residential buildings
- Distributing HDMI video content to multiple screens across an existing local network infrastructure
- Digital signage installations in retail spaces, corporate offices, or public venues
