HDBaseT 8x8 HDMI Matrix over CAT5e/6/7, RS232,TCP/IP Control

Introduction

The HDBaseT 8x8 HDMI Matrix with simultaneous CAT5e/6/7 and HDMI outputs connects eight HDMI sources to sixteen displays. This matrix features eight HDMI outputs and each HDMI eight is mirrored to provide a CAT-Cable output which runs simultaneously. It supports the transmission of video (resolutions up to 1080p Full HD and 4Kx2K@30Hz) and supports high resolution digital audio formats such as LPCM 7.1CH, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus and DTS-HD Master Audio. Connect a HDBaseT Receiver to each of the CAT-Cable outputs to extend the HDMI signal up to 328ft/100m (100m Version) or 230ft/70m(70m version)for multi-room connectivity. It works with Blu-Ray players, Set-Top boxes, Home Theater PCs, and game consoles that connect to an HDMI display. Any source is accessible at all times by any display by selecting it via the supplied IR Remote Control, RS-232, TCP/IP or by using the selection buttons on the front panel. This device supports High Definition Audio, and 3D signal compatibility.
