PRO-HDBaseT-U
The PRO-HDBaseT-U 4K HDR Extender over Single Cat.X with HDBaseT, RS-232,
Bi-directional IR, PoC, USB & ARC boosts up your video/audio transmission dis-
tance up to 100m (330ft) in HDTV 1080p with 48-bit color depth and 70m (230ft)
at 4K-HDR. PRO-HDBaseT-U has new generation technology which makes sure
the HDBaseT extender can support HDMI2.0a and HDCP 2.2. PRO-HDBaseT-U also
supports the most advanced 3D video format complaint with HDMI specication
and therefore guarantees the highest 3D video compatibility on the market. With
only one cost-eective Cat.5/5e/6 cable, users can readily extend UHDTV sources from DVD players, Blu-ray Disc player, PS4, PC, and any other kinds of sources
compliant with TMDS to distant display monitors including HDMI or DVI enabled
TV sets or LCD PC monitors. With the advanced design for the latest HDMI technology, deep color video, DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD audio, and HDCP support and
compatibility are all further insured. This exibility makes HDCP compliant DVD
players or PS4 transmit utmost high quality video and audio with a greater distance at the minimal cost, when integrating several components apart. In addition, PRO-HDBaseT-U is also equipped with bi-directional IR pass-through path and
RS-232 serial port control. These bonus features allow users to boost IR control
distance up to 100m (330ft) through only single Cat.5/5e/6 cable including HDMI
signals. In addition, serial port and USB2.0 oer the convenient path for interactive application, such as touch panels. In addition, PRO-HDBaseT-U also supports
PoC (Power over Cable) which can power both units from TX or RX with power
supply.
The PRO-HDBaseT-U includes two units: transmitting unit PRO-HDBaseT-U-TX and
receiving unit PRO-HDBaseT-U-RX. The transmitting unit is used to capture the input HDMI / DVI signals with control packets. The receiving unit is responsible for
equalizing the transmitted HDMI signal and reconstructing IR and serial control
signals. PRO-HDBaseT-U oers the most convenient solution for digital signage
with long distance A/V transmission path.

11. Notice
1. All HDMI over CAT5 transmission distances are measured using Belden 1583A CAT5e 125MHz UTP cable and ASTRODESIGN Video Signal Generator VG-859C & VG870B.
2. Incorrect placement of IR Blaster and Receiver may result in the failure of the IR
extenders. Please check carefully before plugging in the IR extender to the respective IR sockets. Warranty will not cover the damage.
3. The transmission length is largely aected by the type of Cat-5/5e/6 cables, the
type of HDMI sources, and the type of HDMI display. The testing result shows solid
UTP cables (usually in the form of 300m [1,000ft] bulk cables) can transmit a lot
longer signals than stranded UTP cables (usually in the form of xed length patch
cords). Shielded STP cables are better suited than unshielded UTP cables. A solid
UTP Cat-5e cable shows longer transmission range than stranded STP Cat-6 cable.
For long extension applications, solid UTP/STP cables are the only viable choice.
4. EIA/TIA-568-B termination (T568B) for Cat-5/5e/6 cables is recommended for bet-
ter performance.
5. To reduce the interference among the unshielded twisted pairs of wires in Cat5/5e/6 cable, one can use shielded STP cables to improve EMI problems, which is
worsen in long transmission.
6. Because the quality of the CAT5/6 cables has the major eect on how long the
transmission limit can achieve and how good is the received picture quality, the
actual transmission range is subject to one’s choice of Cat-5/5e/6 cables. For desired resolutions greater than 1080i or 1280x1024, a Cat-6 cable is recommended.
7. If your HDMI display has multiple HDMI inputs, it is found that the rst HDMI input
[HDMI input #1] generally can produce better transmission performance among all
HDMI inputs.
