1.0 INTRODUCTION

DVIGear’s DVI-7520 and DVI-7525 utilize HDBaseT™ technology to provide a
simple and cost-effective solution for extension of uncompressed HDMI or DVI,
embedded audio, bidirectional IR, RS-232 and Ethernet (DVI-7525 only) using a
single twisted pair CAT-X cable.

These extenders support the full range of HDBaseT features, including: 5-play,
support for 4K / 30p (UHD) resolution, bidirectional IR, POH (Power over
HDBaseT) and long-range operation. They support extension of HDMI signals
with 1080p resolution up to 330 ft. (~ 100 meters) and 4K (UHD) resolution up
to 230 ft. (~ 70 meters).

Today there are many HDBaseT products that utilize non-standard
implementations of power over the HDBaseT link. This problem has created
interoperability challenges for system integrators who are faced with HDBaseT
products that do not work with each other or, in some cases, cause equipment
failures. To solve this problem, DVIGear’s DVI-7520 and DVI-7525 include
a fully-compliant implementation of Power over HDBaseT (POH), a key
component of the HDBaseT standard.

Our professional digital distribution products have been serving the industry
for over ten (10) years. DVIGear offers a full line of high-quality Digital Matrix
Routers, Switchers, Splitters, Video Scalers, Up/Down/Cross Converters,
Format Converters, Analog-Digital Converters, as well as a wide range of long­reach Digital Cables, Extenders, and Optical Transmission systems.
