Designed for flexible deployment, it supports IP-based distribution with RS-232 serial and IR control, enabling centralized management and convenient control of displays and AV gear from a single location. Whether you’re furnishing a single presentation room or rolling out a multi-room signage network, this extender transmitter offers the performance, reliability, and integration options you need.

• Long-distance, high-definition transmission: Extend a DVI or HDMI source over Cat5/Cat6 cables up to 328 ft (100 m) while preserving 1920x1080 (1080p) video quality and synchronized audio across compatible displays and projectors. This capability is ideal for classroom setups, boardrooms, or auditoriums where the source equipment can be centralized while the viewing screens are placed at a distance. By leveraging IP-based distribution, installers gain flexibility to route content through standard network cabling without sacrificing image clarity or audio fidelity.
• Source compatibility and robust signal integrity: The transmitter accepts both DVI and HDMI inputs, delivering full-quality digital video and embedded audio to a receiver over ordinary network cabling. The design emphasizes dependable signal integrity in environments with electrical noise or physical routing challenges, ensuring a stable, consistent experience across multiple display devices and room configurations. It supports a broad range of source equipment—from laptops and media players to professional presentation systems—making it a versatile choice for varied AV ecosystems.
• Integrated control options: Built-in RS-232 serial and IR control enable remote operation and seamless integration into centralized control systems. Operators can manage displays, projectors, and other compatible gear from a central location, enabling scripted presentations, automated room setups, and simplified maintenance. This control capability is especially valuable in spaces that rely on automated workflows or integrated room control, reducing manual steps and enhancing user experiences for presenters and instructors.
• Compact, durable design with easy installation: The transmitter features a compact form factor suitable for behind-display mounting, wall installation, or rack-friendly placements. Its sturdy construction is designed to withstand the rigors of busy AV environments, while its simple wiring and minimal setup simplify installations in classrooms, conference centers, and retail environments. With government procurement in mind, the device is TAA-compliant, offering assurance for projects requiring this specification.
• Scalable distribution compatibility: When paired with corresponding receivers, this IP-based extender supports scalable, multi-display configurations across multiple rooms or zones. Integrators can design centralized AV systems that deliver synchronized content to numerous screens, whether for training facilities, lobbies, classrooms, or corporate campuses. The solution provides a cost-effective path to expanding an AV network without the need for specialized cabling or complex routing.
