The ELE8080 HDMI™ EXTENDER boosts up your video/audio transmission distance up to 60m
(200ft) in HDTV 1080i format. With two low cost Cat-5/5e/6 UTP cables, users can readily extend
HDTV sources from DVD players, Blu-ray Disc player, PS3, 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. This cost effective flexibility makes HDCP compliant DVD players or PS3 transmit high
quality video and audio with a greater distance at the minimal cost, when integrating several
components apart.

The ELE8080 includes two units: transmitting and receiving units. The transmitting unit is used to
transfer the HDMI

™

signals input and carry the signals through two low cost Cat-5/5e/6 cables. The

receiving unit is responsible for equalizing transferred HDMI

™

multimedia data. The transmission
distance between the sending and receiving units can be up to 60m (200ft) under HD (720p/1080i)
or 40m (130ft) under Full HD (1080p). With an 8-level equalization rotary control switch on the
receiving unit, users can adjust the equalization strength to the received HDMI

™

signals accordingly,

and therefore optimize the transmission distance between HDMI

™

source and display.

performance. Unshielded CAT6 with metal RJ-45 connectors is recommended.
