Crestron launches a pair of additions to its HDMI extender family-- the HD-EXT3-C and HD-EXT4-C, both with 4K/UHD and HDBaseT support for long distance HDMI signal transmission over CAT5e/UTP cable.
HDBaseT allows the transmission of uncompressed, HDCP-protected HDMI signals (including 4K video) for up to 100m without signal degradation.
The HD-EXT3-C includes IR and RS-232 transmission for a "complete" signal and control solution. Meanwhile the HD-EXT4-C offers separate analog audio in and out to support DVI or other devices lacking embedded digital audio support.
The analog audio output can feed room amps or powered speakers.
According to Crestron the transmitter mounts easily in a single-gang wall box, inside an equipment rack or on any flat surface. One can mount the compact receiver behind a display device, projector or wherever necessary.
The HD-EXT3-C transmitter and receiver (HD-TX3-C and HD-RX3-C) are available separately, and the wall mount transmitters of both HD-EXT3-C and HD-EXT4-C ship with either black or white faceplates.
