Extender HDMI HDBaseT ST121HDBTE over CAT5e - Ultra HD 4K
Product ID: ST121HDBTE
Product Overview
The StarTech.com HDBaseT extender kit allows HDMI signals to be extended up to 70 meters using a single CAT5e or CAT6 cable. It supports Ultra HD and Full HD resolutions (4K / 1080p), 3D, and digital audio. For enhanced versatility, both the transmitter and receiver can be powered by a single power source via Power over Cable (PoC). This video extender is an ideal solution for digital signage applications in large venues such as shopping malls, stadiums, schools, and hospitals.
HDBaseT is a standardized video distribution technology with zero latency, revolutionizing HDMI distribution. It uses an advanced modulation method to distribute uncompressed HDMI audio and video signals along with additional signals like 100BaseT Ethernet, IR, RS-232 serial port, and Power over Cable.
The extender offers HDBaseT technology with HDMI and Power in a single kit for a complete end-to-end solution. Providing greater versatility than traditional HDMI extenders or HDMI cabling alone, HDBaseT is the natural choice for system integrators and designers. With the added advantage of Power over Cable, a single power source at one end of the connection is sufficient, making it ideal for extensions in areas where power outlets may be limited, such as industrial sites.
With the rapid adoption of 4K as the new high-resolution video standard in the AV sector, long-range video signal distribution can be challenging with standard HDMI cables, where signal degradation is noticeable even at 9.1 meters. With 4K support, HDBaseT impressively maintains Ultra HD image quality, four times the resolution of 1080p high definition, even at distances up to 39.6 meters from the video source. Furthermore, as it supports 1080p and lower HD resolutions up to 70 meters, the extender can be conveniently used to enhance the aesthetics of any video setup.
This extender is designed for a clean, hassle-free installation. HDBaseT technology allows for a single-cable installation, enabling total integration using existing CAT5e or CAT6 infrastructure and avoiding the complexity of managing multiple Ethernet cables, thereby reducing potential failures. Additionally, thanks to the Power over Cable advantage, a single power source powers both the extender and receiver, making it ideal for extensions in areas with limited power outlets. Mounting hardware is included for both the transmitter and receiver for a tidy, professional installation.
The ST121HDBTE is covered by a 2-year StarTech.com warranty and lifetime free technical support.
