AVPro Edge AC-EX40-444 Overview
This TAA-compliant Ultra-Slim 4K 4:4:4 HDMI 2.0 over HDBaseT Extender Kit from AVPro Edge marks the introduction of AVPro Edge's groundbreaking Invisible Compression Technology (ICT), a new standard in HDMI extension, enabling the transmission of HDMI 2.0 UHD 4K60 4:4:4 signals over copper Cat cables. The 18Gb/s bandwidth support enables the signal to retain impeccable quality with deep, dynamic color, and preserving HDR metadata, both static and dynamic, along with the video signal to ensure pixel-perfect, image fidelity.
Invisible Compression Technology
ICT revolutionized HDMI extension technology implemented into HDBaseT. Bandwidth limitations with 4K signals sent through copper Cat 5e, 6, and 6a cabling are overcome by a proprietary algorithm. Compatible with all HDR and high-bitrate audio codec metadata, the highest quality display devices remain artifact-free when accepting ICT signals.
Scaling circuitry in the transmitter can step down 4K (including HDR metadata) to 1080p for legacy displays, which is especially useful in mixed resolution systems where native signal resolution is preserved for optimum performance system wide.
Interoperability issues between displays and problematic AVRs or sources are easily resolved with EDID options available on the kit. EDID bypass and EDID copy simplify troubleshooting.
Transmission distance varies by resolution bandwidth. 1080p signals can be sent to up to 230' while 4K resolutions reliably reach 115'. For new construction or whenever possible, shielded Cat 6a cable is recommended.
Always active on both kit ends, PCM 2-Channel L/R audio can be extracted from Phoenix connectors and sent to an AVR or distribution amplifier.
Configurable, bidirectional control for IR and RS-232 signals provides a carefully nuanced added plus, consolidating wiring to a solitary pull and mitigating the use of supplemental devices for a clean, efficient installation. Simplified control requirements can take advantage of I-PASS, forwarding commands directly from a control system IR-out port into the transmitter unit's I-PASS input, proceeding to the receiving end and routing directly from the receiver unit's IR-out into the display's IR input jack (if equipped) or through an attached IR emitter. ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection adds a layer of defense for all connected products.
Power over HDBaseT (PoH) allows both devices to be fully powered from a user-selectable, single unit. Typical applications find the receiver unit mated to the rear, jack panel area of the display with the transmitter unit and power supply positioned at the source end.
