About this product
HDBaseT is a standardized, zero-latency video technology that’s
revolutionizing HDMI distribution. HDBaseT uses an advanced
method of modulation that enables you to distribute uncompressed
HDMI audio and video over long distances, over standard network
cabling.
This repeater receives your HDBaseT signal, and deploys it to an
additional receiver up to 70 m away, while outputting the HDBaseT
signal to an HDMI display at the repeaters location. The repeater also
enables you to add an HDMI source at the repeater’s location and
switch between sources at each connected HDMI and/or HDBaseT
display.
Preparing your site
1. At the local source, set up your HDBaseT video source, as
instructed by the documentation included with it.
2. Run your CAT5e or CAT6 cable from the RJ-45 output on the
HDBaseT source to the location you’d like to place the repeater.
Note: This needs to be a direct connection. Do not route the cable
through any networking equipment.
3. Set up your HDMI display near the location you’d like to place the
repeater.
4. (Optional) Set up your HDMI source near the location you’d like to
place the repeater.
5. At the remote destination, if you’re connecting to an HDBaseT
display, set up the display appropriately in your desired location.
