IR Remote Control Extension:
Some models may support IR (Infrared) remote control extension, allowing users to control the HDMI source device remotely from the display location.
Bi-Directional RS232 Extension:
Provides bi-directional RS232 extension, enabling control and communication between devices using RS232 protocols over the same CAT5e/CAT6 cables.
Wide Compatibility:
Compatible with various HDMI devices such as Blu-ray players, gaming consoles, computers, and AV receivers, supporting different HDMI versions including HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2.
Applications:
Useful for home theater setups, conference rooms, classrooms, digital signage, and other environments where HDMI signals need to be extended over long distances.
 
Typical Applications:
Home Theater:
Allows for the placement of HDMI source devices in a different room from the display device, maintaining high-definition video quality.
Conference Rooms and Classrooms:
Facilitates presentations and lectures by extending HDMI signals from laptops or media players to projectors or large screens.
Digital Signage:
