TechLogix TL-TP70-HDIR-LT Economy HDMI & IR Over Twisted Pair Cable Extender, 4K (30) Up to 130'

HDMI cables are great for transmitting audio and video signals short distances, but larger buildings and larger rooms often need electronics inline to ensure signal performance. Simply pulling a long HDMI cable or connecting multiple HDMI cables together can cause signal drop out, interference, pixelization and a host of other signal and performance problems. The TL-TP70-HDIR-LT replaces a traditional HDMI cable with active electronics designed specifically for sending video signals up to 230 feet. Plus, built-in IR control signal embedding allow you to also transmit bi-directional IR commands with the HDMI stream.

In actual practice, this means you can use the TL-TP70-HDIR-LT to send audio and video signals from your source device (often a switcher, cable box or DVD player) to your destination device (often a display or projector) and control the source device remotely all using a single twisted pair cable. In other words, you can install your source device in a remote closet or cabinet and control it with the same remote control used for your display. Now that's a clean installation!

The TL-TP70-HDIR-LT is a cost-effective HDBaseT extender set designed for extending HDMI and bi-directional IR up to 70 meters (230 ft.) over standard twisted pair cabling. As with any HDBaseT extender, shielded twisted pair and shielded connectors are recommended. The system is designed for PoC (power over cable), allowing both the transmit and receive units to be powered by a single power supply connected to the transmitter.

The extender set consists of a transmitter and receiver pair. HDMI signals are input into the transmitter and HDBaseT technology is used to transmit the signals to the receiver up to 70m via a Cat5e/Cat6 cable. The receiver then outputs the HDMI signal. Bi-directional IR is also transmitted across the Cat5e/Cat6 cable. The extender set supports PoC, which can be used to power the receiver via the Cat5e/Cat6 cable. This eliminates the need for power at the receiver end.
