Gefen 4K Ultra HD 600MHz HDBaseT Extender Set with HDR Up to 264', RS-232, 2-Way IR and Bi-Directional PoL

While maintaining the integrity of ultra-high-definition signals, the Gefen GTB-UHD600-HBT 4K Ultra HD 600MHz HDBaseT Extender Set is an indispensable solution for extending full-bandwidth HDMI 2.0 audio and video with HDR. This robust extender set is capable of transmitting crystal-clear 4K content up to 80 meters (264 feet) using a single CAT-5e or superior cable, making it perfect for professional AV installations and home theater enthusiasts seeking the highest quality transmission over longer distances.

Engineered with cutting-edge HDBaseT technology, the GTB-UHD600-HBT leverages Gefen's advanced, visually lossless compression algorithms, boasting an impressive PSNR (Peak Signal to Noise Ratio), to deliver 4K Cinema-DCI (4096 x 2160 up to 60 Hz 4:4:4) and 4K Ultra HD (3860 x 2160 up to 60 Hz, 4:4:4) resolutions with HDR. The High Dynamic Range (HDR) support ensures a wider color gamut and greater contrast, enhancing the visual experience with more lifelike images and vibrant colors.

The extender set supports the full 18.2Gbps data throughput and 600MHz TMDS Clock frequency as specified by the HDMI 2.0 standard, ensuring compatibility with high-performance devices and content. It is also equipped to handle HDCP 2.2 and HDCP 1.4, providing secure content transmission and broad compatibility with different generations of content protection.

In addition to its video capabilities, the GTB-UHD600-HBT excels in audio transmission, supporting the highest performance multichannel digital audio formats. This includes 7.1 channels of LPCM and HBR (High Bit Rate) digital audio formats such as Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, and DTS-HD Master Audio, ensuring an immersive audio experience to accompany the pristine video quality.

For added versatility, the extender set offers RS-232 and 2-way IR extension, allowing for seamless control of A/V sources and displays from either end of the installation. This feature is particularly useful for managing equipment in remote or inaccessible locations.

Gefen's innovative Bi-Directional POL (Power Over Line) technology simplifies installation by allowing either the Sender or the Receiver unit to be powered through the same cable that extends the HDMI signal. This eliminates the need for a power supply at both ends and is especially beneficial in scenarios where power outlets are scarce.

The GTB-UHD600-HBT's compact and low-profile enclosures can be securely surface-mounted, remaining unobtrusive and easily concealable. The design also accommodates Gefen locking HDMI cables, ensuring secure and reliable connections.

For optimal performance, the use of Shielded (STP) CAT-6A cable is recommended. While Shielded (STP) CAT-5e or Unshielded (UTP) CAT-5e or CAT-6A cables may work depending on the quality, they are not the preferred choice. It is crucial to avoid proximity to power lines and other sources of electromagnetic interference to maintain signal integrity.

In summary, the Gefen GTB-UHD600-HBT is a state-of-the-art solution for extending 4K HDMI signals with HDR, offering unparalleled audio and video quality, control, and convenience for both commercial and residential applications.
