HDMI RS-232 Extender

Extending state-of-the-art digital video displays, computer monitors and touch
screens has never been easier. Distances up to 150 feet at 1080p resolution
(300 feet at 1080i resolution) are guaranteed to perform beautifully, giving you a
reliable method of all-digital extension while streamlining your installation cabling
needs.

How It Works

You simply connect the HDMI RS232 Extender sender unit to your HDMI and
RS232 source using the supplied cables. Your RS232 device and the HDMI
display plugs into the HDMI RS-232 Extender’s receiver unit. Two CAT-5 cables
connect the sender and the receiver units to each other allowing for up to 300
feet of extension (300 feet at 1080i resolution or 150 feet of extension at 1080p
resolution). You can use the optional Gefen IR Emitter cable to extend IR signals.
