Introduction
Overview
ATEN VE2812AT is a transmitter for sending VGA (with audio) and HDMI
signals up to 100 m over a single Cat 5e/6/6a or ATEN 2L-2910 Cat 6 cable.
Featuring built-in PoH (Power over HDBaseT) function, the VE2812AT receives
power supply from the HDBaseT output port on the connected device. This
eliminates the need for a power adapter and reduces the hassel of power line
deployment behind the wall. The VE2812AT guarantees reliable transmission
of HDMI signals, supporting 3D, Deep Color, and embedded HD lossless audio
formats. It also ensures transmission of VGA (with audio) at distance up to 100
m. In addition, it supports Long Reach Mode up to 150 m via a single Cat 5e/6
cable at resolutions up to 1080p.
For utility flexibility, the VE2812AT can serve as a video switch by connecting
two sources and distribute them to an identical output. The VE2812AT is
recommended to be deployed in paired with the VE2812R. The VE2812R can
carry on IR/RS-232 from the VE2812R to the VE2812AT, allowing users to
remotely control the VE2812AT unit through RS-232 command mode via input
port switching. The solution is ideal for a variety of settings, such as meeting
rooms, digital educational environment or where high video quality is required.
