4K HDMI 1.4 extender set over CAT6 UTP with IR support
The AC7801 HDMI 1.4 extender set allows you to extend an HDMI signal via a CAT6 UTP cable, over a distance of up to 40m (131 ft) with a maximum resolution of 4K@30Hz.
Or with a resolution of 1080p@60Hz, over a distance of up to 70m (229 ft).
Power over Cable (PoC) support via CAT6 cable
The HDMI extender set supports Power over Cable (PoC) via CAT6 UTP.
Only the transmitter requires power. The receiver unit receives power from the transceiver via the connected UTP cable.
EDID copy function
The EDID copy function, also known as Extended Display Identification, ensures the resolution communication between the source and output devices.
Without EDID, the source and display capacities can differ completely and lead to no image throughput at all. With EDID, the display capacity will be communicated to the source device for the best possible quality.
It is mandatory to have a display connected to the Transmitter, in order to copy EDID from this
connected display to the connected display on the Receiver.
Underneath an example picture, on how the EDID communicates to the connected devices.
For example, when a 4K capable monitor/tv is connected onto the Transmitter and the EDID is being copied and sent to the Receiver, on which a max. 1080p capable monitor is connected, there will be no display possible for this monitor.
At that point you need to switch EDID to the RX option, to retrieve resolution information from the monitor connected onto the Receiver.
Connect a local loop display
The transmitter unit has an additional HDMI output for connecting a local TV or monitor.
The content of the source device can be displayed on a TV or monitor near the transmitter unit.
Cascading via local loop HDMI OUT port
Use the local loop HDMI port (Transmitter) for cascading to other HDMI extenders.
Infrared control via enclosed IR transmitter and receiver
The AC7801 comes with an Infrared transmitter and receiver for remote controlling the source device (for example a media-player).
Connect the included IR (Infra-Red) “TX” cable to the “IR OUT” of the Transmitter, and mount the IR LED next to the IR eye of the remote capable source device.
Connect the included IR (Infra-Red) “RX” cable to the “IR IN” of the Receiver, and mount the IR LED to a convenient place, in order to control the remote device from a location of which the Receiver is located at.
