Introduction
Overview
The VE802 HDMI HDBaseT-Lite Extender extends an HDBaseT signal up to
70m from the HDBaseT source using one Cat 5e/6 cable. VE802 supports RS232 and IR signaling pass-through, allowing you to control the HDMI source
device from the remote unit (VE802R) while also granting access to the HDMI
display device from the local unit (VE802T). IR signals can also be extended
in both directions. The VE802 features Power over HDBaseT (POH) which can
send power over Cat 5e/6 cable without an additional power supply. The
VE802 is HDMI (3D, Deep Color,4kx2k) and HDCP compatible. The VE802
is perfect for a digital entertainment center or any installation that requires
superior video quality.
