Introduction
ATEN VE2812AUST / VE2812AEUT is a video transmitter that can send 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 VE2812AUST / VE2812AEUT receives power supply from the HDBaseT output port on the connected device. This eliminates the need for a power adapter and reduces the hassle of power line deployment behind the wall.
The VE2812AUST / VE2812AEUT guarantees reliable transmission of HDMI/ VGA signals. For HDMI signal transmission, it supports 3D, Deep Color, and embedded HD lossless audio formats. In addition, the VE2812AUST / VE2812AEUT supports Long Reach Mode, which allows the device to transmit signals up to 150 m, 1080p, over a Cat 5e/6 cable.
For utility flexibility, the VE2812AUST / VE2812AEUT can serve as a video switch by connecting to two sources and distribute them to an identical output. Thecompactwallplatedesigndoesawaywithbulkycables,allowinganeatand convenient installation in the wall or the table. The VE2812AUST / VE2812AEUT is designed for use in meeting rooms or digital education environments where high video quality is required.
