Introduction
The PWAY PW-HTS0102 is an HDMI extender splitter system designed to distribute a single HDMI source to multiple displays over long distances. This system includes one transmitter unit and two receiver units. It extends one HDMI source to two local HDMI displays and two remote HDMI displays via a single CAT5e/6/6a/7 Ethernet cable. It supports resolutions up to 1920 × 1080 at 60Hz and 3D video.
