Introduction
Overview
The ATEN VE1801AEUT / VE1801AUST HDMI HDBaseT-Lite transmitter
delivers 4K signals up to 40 m over a single Cat 5e/6/6a or ATEN 2L-2910 Cat
6 cable, ensuring users to stabilize HDMI signal transmission with support of
3D, Deep color and embedded HD lossless audio formats. During high-quality
video transmission, the transmitter can resist signal interference with the
equipped HDBaseT Anti-jamming technology and offer a reliable signal
extension.
The VE1801AEUT / VE1801AUST can be easily mounted in a 1-gang
junction box with EU / US wall plate, concealing bulky cable setups and
presenting needed information in sight. In addition, with built-in PoH (Power
over HDBaseT) function, the VE1801AEUT / VE1801AUST receives power
supply from a connected PoH PSE supported receiver and streamlines complex
power line deployment.
Expanding on previous models by the share function, the VE1801AEUT /
VE1801AUST can remotely switch source when connecting to a compatible
receiver, e.g., VP1421, bringing users for more convenient AV extension. This
compact transmitter provides a neat and simple installation on walls or tables,
enabling users to elegantly immerse their AV applications into any
environment. Therefore, the VE1801AEUT / VE1801AUST is ideal for use in
meeting rooms, digital educational environments or any application requiring
stable high-quality transmission and effortless installation.
