Hall Research FXT-460 4K HDMI 2.0 Fiber Optic Receiver

With the Hall Research FXT-460 4K HDMI 2.0 Fiber Optic Receiver, experience the epitome of advanced, high-quality, and reliable video and audio transmission. This compact yet powerful device is designed to extend full-bandwidth HDMI 2.0 audio/video with HDR up to a remarkable distance of 10 kilometers. It achieves this feat over a single strand of LC-terminated fiber-optic cable, ensuring a durable and interference-free connection.

This innovative receiver supports a substantial 18.2 Gbps of bandwidth and a 600 MHz TMDS Clock frequency. It is capable of extending 4K 60 Hz video with multi-channel audio and RS232, providing you with a superior viewing experience. The receiver's advanced capabilities include embedding and de-embedding audio, 4K UHD video (4:4:4 with HDR), HDCP 2.0, bidirectional RS-232, and EDID management.

The FXT-460 goes beyond just video transmission. It extracts the audio component of the HDMI input and makes it available as both analog (L/R) and Digital SPDIF (TOSLINK) on corresponding connectors. The audio embedded in the extended HDMI to the remote receiver can be customized according to your preference. You can choose to pass-through from HDMI input, use external analog audio from the 3.5mm audio input connector, or opt for external digital SPDIF audio from the Optical TOSLINK input connector.

The device's EDID management feature allows users to control the video and audio parts of the EDID independently. The EDID presented to the source connected to the HDMI input can either pass from the downstream device or be emulated from internal memory. The device also has the ability to "Learn" the EDID connected to its HDMI output.

The FXT-460 supports a video bandwidth of 18 Gbps and input resolutions of up to 4K @ 60 Hz 4:4:4 with HDR. It is compatible with HDCP 2.2 as well as HDCP 1.4. All resolutions up to and including 4K @ 30Hz with 4:4:4 or 4K @ 60 Hz with 4:2:0 are extended with no compression. The device also features the ability to generate a blank HDMI output signal with audio embedded, even in the absence of an HDMI input, a feature often referred to as "HDMI Audio Bridging". This makes it a convenient tool for distributing audio-only signals over an HDMI network.

In summary, the Hall Research FXT-460 4K HDMI 2.0 Fiber Optic Receiver is a robust solution for long-distance, high-quality video and audio transmission, making it an ideal choice for large venues or installations where traditional HDMI cables are impractical.
