This HDBaseT Kit with Audio Return Channel (ARC) extender consists of a transmitter and receiver that connects viasingle 6a/7 UTP/STP. Connecting an HDMI signal to the transmitter allows for sending HDMI signals up to 70 meters away at 1080p and up to 40 meters at 4K60 4:2:0, 4K30 4:4:4. It solves commercial and residential market problems for distributing high-value 4K UHD content from rack to display with the additional ability to send an audio signal bi-directionally through the HDMI ARC.
The manufactured HDMI cable length is unchangeable and unreliable after about 25 feet. Additionally, HDMI connectors can only be terminated in a specialized factory environment due to their high frequencies and density. This does not allow installers or users to remake or make cables on a DIY basis. CAT-6A cables are widely available and can be reworked easily by the installer or end-user.
ARC allows you to deliver local audio from internal smart tv apps like Netflix, Hulu, or Disney+ back to your headend. You can then distribute this audio through amplifiers for enhanced audio experiences. Audio return channel is not available through the tos out or L/R out ports on the transmitter – only through the HDMI port.
By using AC-EX70-UHD-ARC, the transmission distance for HD 1080P is up to 70 meters (230ft.), and UHD 4K resolution reaches an impressive 40 meters (115ft.).
IR & RS-232 are bi-directional and can control the sources from the sinks or vice versa.
The PoH (Power over HDBaseT) function is intended to power RX from the TX or TX from the RX. The advantage of a lightweight (160 grams) super-slim extender is it can be mounted anywhere where space is at a premium.
Should a firmware update be necessary, it can be accomplished in the field.
The AC-EX70-UHD-ARC has robust EDID control. EDID management allows you to manage the input device and request specific video resolutions and/or audio codecs. The following EDID options are available:
The EDID Copy function allows you to copy and save from any display or projector you desire.
Plug your Control System emitter ports directly into the IR port on the transmitter (via mono 3.5mm cable) for clean and reliable IR pass-through. Our unique VPC (Voltage Protection Circuit) allows you to do this without wear and tear on the sensitive electronics inside.
