Introduction

Overview

ATEN VE814A is an HDBaseT Video Extender that is capable of sending HDMI signals up to 100 m over a single Cat 5e/6/6a or ATEN 2L-2910 Cat 6 cable. Featuring dual synchronous outputs, the VE814A can transmit identical outputs to two remote displays and one display at the local side. This HDCP 2.2-compliant extender meets the HDMI Specification, including 3D, Deep Color, the maximum data rate of 10.2 Gbps, and transmission of 4K videos up to 100 m.

Supporting bi-directional RS-232 and full-range IR signaling pass-through, the VE814A allows you to control an HDMI source device from the remote unit (VE814AR) while granting access to the HDMI display device from the local unit (VE814AT). In addition, it supports Long Reach Mode that extends HDMI signals up to 150 m, 1080p, via a single Cat 5e/6 cable.
