Introduction
Overview
ATEN VE814A is an HDBaseT Video Extender that is capable of sending
HDMI signals up to 100 m over a single Cat 5e/6/6a or ATEN 2L-2910 Cat 6
cable. Featuring dual synchronous outputs, the VE814A can transmit identical
outputs to two remote displays and one display at the local side. This
HDCP 2.2-compliant extender meets the HDMI Specification, including 3D,
Deep Color, the maximum data rate of 10.2 Gbps, and transmission of 4K
videos up to 100 m.
Supporting bi-directional RS-232 and full-range IR signaling pass-through, the
VE814A allows you to control an HDMI source device from the remote unit
(VE814AR) while granting access to the HDMI display device from the local
unit (VE814AT). In addition, it supports Long Reach Mode that extends HDMI
signals up to 150 m, 1080p, via a single Cat 5e/6 cable.
The VE814A is a powerful solution for where digital signage is required, such as
bars, educational spaces, and public transportation stations, allowing display of
identical contents at different spots.
