Black Box VX-HDMI-TP-E100M AV transmitter & receiver Black AV extender

XR HDMI, IR, RS-232, Ethernet, 100m Put a digital sign where you want it and control AV source equipment at the screen while also transmitting Ethernet data to a remote location with our XR HDMI, IR, RS-232, and Ethernet Extender.

Extending over a single CAT5e/6 cable, the transmitter-receiver combo makes it easy to send digital full 1080p-quality video and audio plus IR and serial RS-232 control signals up to 328 feet (100 m)*.

And because the extender features bidirectional 100BASE-T Ethernet passthrough, you can distribute both HDMI and Ethernet streaming video from a source to display over the same non-networked cable connection. Each unit has three LAN ports. Use a LAN port on the transmitter, for instance, to plug in an Ethernet switch or hub, and extend data from that switch or hub to a networked device on the other side of the link. Or use the extender to stream video directly to an HDTV with an Ethernet port.

<b>Reduced cabling requirements.</b>
The XR HDMI, IR, RS-232, and Ethernet Extender transmits uncompressed full HD digital video and audio plus DCE/DTE control and Ethernet signals all over a single copper cable.

By using just one CATx run to reach a remote screen, you can get away with using a single, existing Ethernet cabling drop for multimedia distribution. Reach digital signage or monitors without adding—and having to maintain—a jumble of cables and wiring behind the screen. It truly is an all-in-one connectivity solution for a number of digital signage and AV distribution applications.

You also get simplified control. The extender supports CEC passthrough and source device control via a built-in IR extender function (an IR emitter and IR receiver are included). IR commands received in the vicinity of the display extend back to the source device. This way, a receptionist stationed near a screen, for instance, can use an HDTV's remote controller to change settings on a source device in another room.

Also because the extender supports bidirectional RS-232 control, you can use serial commands from a PC to turn a remote screen on and off to save energy in your video application.

<b>Designed for emerging HDMI technology.</b>
The extender is ideal for applications requiring greater distance for high-quality video resolutions on HDTV displays or projectors. It supports 340 MHz/3.4 Gbps of HDMI video bandwidth per channel and 10.2 Gbps on all channels.

What's more, the XR HDMI, IR, RS-232, and Ethernet Extender uses HDBaseT based technology, so it has the capacity to extend both HDMI and control signals. It also supports the resolutions of current and emerging video display devices, such as the latest 3D screens and future HD formats.

And because it supports HDCP communications, you can also extend content from a Blu-ray player or other protected-content source.

For high-quality sound, the XR HDMI, IR, RS-232, and Ethernet Extender transmits uncompressed LPCM signals as well as compressed audio, such as DTS-HD and Dolby® TrueHD audio, as part of the HDMI signal.
