This application shows how to incorporate splitters and extenders to create a 4K Ultra HD distribution system with
remote 4K Ultra HD display clusters and IP control for Smart TVs or other IP controlled devices.
Inserting a Gefen EXT-UHD-CAT5-ELRPOL Extender between the Head-end Splitter and Remote Splitter can
extend HDMI, Ethernet, two-way IR, RS-232 and Receiver Power up to 330' (100m) for 4K Ultra/4K Cinema (8-bit)
or 1080p Full HD (12-bit Deep Color). 1080p Full HD (8-bit color) can be extended up to 495' (150m). The 2, 4 and
8-way splitters can be implemented at either the head-end or remote locations as needed.
Incorporating a third-party IP System system controller will provide discreet system-wide control of Smart TVs and
other IP controlled devices in remote locations.
