4K Ultra HD Multi-Format 2x1 HDBaseT Sender with Scaler, Auto-Switching, and POH (EXT-UHDV-HBTLS-TX)

EXT-UHDV-HBTLS-TX

The Gefen EXT-UHDV-HBTLS-TX is a high-performance solution in a compact enclosure, designed for switching between 4K Ultra HD HDMI and VGA inputs and extending them over a single CAT-5e cable. This sender unit transmits signals up to 70 meters (230 feet) at 1080p and 40 meters (130 feet) at 4K resolutions. It features both automatic and manual switching options, along with a powerful built-in scaler that can upscale VGA signals to ensure stunning presentations and smooth transitions between sources. In addition to video with analog audio, the EXT-UHDV-HBTLS-TX extends RS-232 and 2-way IR when used with a compatible receiver. For simplified installation, Bi-Directional Power over HDBaseT™ (POH) technology allows the sender to power a compatible receiver, or be powered by it, eliminating the need for a power supply at one end of the installation.

⚠️Receiver is required. Part number: EXT-UHDA-HBTL-RX

Key Features

Flexible Input Switching: Automatically or manually switch between one 4K HDMI and one VGA input via the front-panel button or RS-232.

 

High-Resolution HDBaseT™ Extension: Transmit video over a single CAT-5e cable up to 40 meters (130 feet) for 4K Ultra HD (at 30 Hz, 4:4:4) and up to 70 meters (230 feet) for 1080p Full HD.

 

Powerful On-Board Scaling: A built-in scaler ensures optimal image quality by upscaling lower-resolution VGA signals to widescreen WUXGA (1920×1200).

 

4K HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 Support: The HDMI input supports data rates up to 18 Gbps for resolutions up to 4K Ultra HD at 60 Hz (4:4:4), and is compliant with both HDCP 2.2 and 1.4.

 

High-Fidelity Audio Pass-Through: Supports pass-through of up to 7.1 channels of LPCM and High Bit Rate (HBR) digital audio formats from the HDMI input, including Dolby Atmos®, Dolby® TrueHD, DTS:X™, and DTS-HD Master Audio™.

 

Bi-Directional Power over HDBaseT™ (POH): Simplifies installation by allowing the Sender to power a compatible Receiver, or be powered by it, over the same link cable, requiring only one power supply for both units.

 

Expanded Control Extension: Extends 2-way IR and bi-directional RS-232 alongside the video signal when used with a compatible receiver.

 

Advanced EDID Management: Utilizes Gefen's Advanced EDID Management for rapid and reliable integration of video sources and displays.

 

Professional Installation Features: Features a compact, ultra-low-profile, surface-mountable enclosure with a secure locking power connector, suitable for discreet placement.

How It Works

The Gefen EXT-UHDV-HBTLS-TX Sender works in tandem with a compatible HDBaseT™ Receiver to switch and extend AV signals from two sources to a remote display location. First, connect a high-definition HDMI source and/or a VGA source with its companion L/R analog audio to the Sender's inputs. The unit can be set to automatically switch to a live source or be manually toggled using the front panel button or RS-232 commands. Its powerful internal scaler can up-convert VGA signals to WUXGA resolution to ensure a high-quality image on modern displays. The selected audio/video stream, along with bi-directional RS-232 and 2-way IR signals, is then transmitted over a single CAT-5e cable to a compatible receiver. The system is powered using Bi-Directional Power over HDBaseT™ (POH), which allows a single 12V power supply connected to either the Sender or the Receiver to power both units, simplifying installation significantly.
