and RS232, Ethernet passthrough and two-way 100W
power to remotely power receivers at display zones from
a compatible PoH transmission device such as MX-0808­PP-POH-4K matrix - all along a single cat5e/6 cable.

UltraHD 4K transmissions are supported up to 70m/230ft
over Cat6 at 30fps with 4K chroma sub-sampling
color palette of 4:2:2 and internal EDID management

using pre-set, stored or recalled settings to negotiate

communication between connected source/ display

devices.

Including serial control support with compatibility with

leading control systems and switchable RS232 selection
for rmware updates, improved 12v power connectivity
is also oered via phoenix port and threaded DC power
port for standard and locking DC power plugs should you

need it.

Operation status is illustrated by panel LED indicators
for power supply, signal status for display connection,
HDCP in signal, and a HDBaseT link indicator to assess
the presence of transmissions and help identify potential

issues.

WyreStorm 4K HDBaseT solutions oer the features,
exibility and compatibility demanded by modern
integrations while future-proong for tomorrow, combined
with an ease of use and cost-eciency for reliable
distribution and control of digital content over distance

whether in a residential or commercial setting.
