About the SoloCAT HD™

The SoloCAT™ HD HDMI over CAT5e/6 Extender kit is designed to be HDMI 1.4a compatible
and 3D capable, enabling the reliable transmission of the HDMI; bi directional IR and bi
directional RS232 signals up to 330ft in 1080p HD (even 2k/4k resolutions and 3D format).
Because the SoloCAT™ HD is HDMI 1.4 compatible it allows you to take full advantage of the
new technology by supporting much higher resolutions than 1080p or 1440p including 2k
(2048x1080p) and 4k (4096×3072) resolutions. Future versions of this device will add the
capability for Ethernet data channel, allowing other HDMI 1.4 enabled devices to share a
network connection for internet connectivity. Additionally for future versions, the audio return
channel which will send the audio signal back from the display to a receiver or other audio
device.

Since the SoloCAT™ HD has bi-directional IR, it is the perfect device for multi-room applications
and third party control systems. With bi-directional communication from a remote control or
control system, commands can be sent from the remote location back to the main equipment
center or the other way around. Note: The maximum usable distance depends on the quality

and characteristics of the cables. Higher resolutions and longer transmission distances work
better with low skew cables (<25ns/100m) for the best performance. Unshielded Cat5e/6 with
metal RJ-45 connectors and 568-B termination will provide best results.
