The ASP-CATX1 HDMI boosts HDMI transmission distance up to 60m (200ft) in HDTV 1080i format, 40m (130ft) in
HDTV 1080p format, and 20m (65ft) in HDTV 1080p with 36-bit color depth. With only one cost effective UTP cable, users
can readily extend HDTV sources from DVD players, Blu-ray Disc player, PS3, PC, and any other kinds of sources
compliant with TMDS standard to distant display monitors including HDMI/DVI supported TV sets or LCD PC monitors. With
the state-of-the-art Silicon Image chipsets embedded, Deep Color video, DTS-HD or Dolby TrueHD audio, HDCP and HDMI
compatibility are all further insured. This flexibility makes HDCP compliant DVD players or PS3 transmit utmost high quality
video and audio over a great distance at the minimal cost.
The ASP-CATX1 includes two units: transmitting (ASP-CATX1-TX) and receiving (ASP-CATX1-RX) units. The
transmitting unit is used to capture the input HDMI/DVI signals and carry the signals over one cost effective Cat-5/5e/6
cable. The receiving unit is responsible for equalizing the HDMI multimedia data. The transmission range between the
sending and receiving units can be up to 60m (200ft) under HD (720p/1080i) or 40m (130ft) under Full HD (1080p). With an
8-level equalization rotary control switch for adjusting the strength of the HDMI signal level on the receiving unit, users can
get the optimal audio/video quality accordingly, and therefore optimize the transmission range between HDMI source and
display.
