2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The 3D HDMI Extender boosts your video/audio transmission distance up to
200 feet (60 meters) in HDTV 1080i format, 130 feet (40 m) in HDTV 1080p
format, and 65 feet (20 m) in HDTV 1080p with 36-bit color depth.
The extender also supports the most advanced 3D video format compliant with
the HDMI 1.3a specification and therefore guarantees the highest 3D video
compatibility on the market. With only one CAT5/5e/6 cable, users can readily
extend HDTV sources from DVD players, Blu-ray Disc players, PS3s, PCs, and any
other kinds of sources compliant with TMDS to distant display monitors
including HDMI/DVI enabled TV sets or LCD PC monitors. This flexibility enables
HDCP compliant DVD players or PS3s to transmit the utmost high-quality video
and audio with a greater distance at minimal cost, when integrating several
components.
The extender includes two units: a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter
captures the input HDMI/DVI signals and carries the signals via one CAT5/5e/6
cable. The receiver equalizes the transmitted HDMI signal. The transmission
distance between the sending and receiving units can be up to 200 feet (60 m)
at HD 720p or 1080i; or 130 feet (40 m) at Full HD 1080p. With an 8-level
equalization rotary control on the receiving unit, users can adjust the
equalization strength to the received HDMI signals accordingly, and optimize
the transmission distance between source and destination.
