INTRODUCTION
The VOPEX® HDMI Splitter/Extender simultaneously distributes digital video and audio signals from one video source to up to
four displays, each located up to 150 feet away using CAT6 solid UTP cable.
The VOPEX system consists of two components: the HDMI broadcast unit, which connects to the host video source and also
supplies video to a local display, and an XTENDEX remote unit for each remote display. The units are interconnected by CAT6
solid UTP cable.
• Broadcast real-time HDMI video to multiple display locations.
• Transmits an uncompressed HDMI signal over one CAT6 cable
• Supports HDTV resolutions up to 1080p and computer resolutions up to 1920x1200
• Compliant with HDMI 1.2 and HDCP 1.1 standards
• Easily expandable. Add remote units as you add monitors
• Inexpensive CAT6 cable replaces bulky video cables
• Supports embedded digital audio through HDMI compatible TVs or audio receivers
• Auto gain, auto skew, and auto EQ for plug-and-play setup and zero maintenance
• Ideal solution for digital signage applications
Optional:
Daisy-chain receivers allow you to extend one video source to multiple displays and to reach longer dist ances. T he daisy-chain
receivers are available in one-output daisy-chain and three-output daisy-chain options:
ST-C5HDMI-150- Single-output remote unit
ST-C5HDMI-RD-150- Single-output daisy-chain remote unit
