The
CV-57C HDMI 1.3 over CAT5 Extender with IR Control Path
boosts up your HDMI transmission distance
up to 60m (200ft) in HDTV 720p / 1080i format. With two low cost CAT-5/5e/6 LAN cables, users can readily
extend HDTV sources from DVD players, Blu-ray Disc player, PS3, PC, and any other kinds of sources compliant
with TMDS to distant display monitors including HDMI enabled TV sets, LCD PC monitors, or projectors. This cost
effective flexibility makes HDCP compliant DVD players or PS3 transmit high quality video and audio with a
greater distance at the minimal cost, when integrating several components apart. In addition, with the embedded
infrared (IR) receiving and emitting units to facilitate the control path, users can enjoy high quality audio/video
and control the HDMI sources from the remote site instantly.
The CV-57C includes two units: CV-57C-TX as the transmitting unit and CV-57C-RX as the receiving unit. The
transmitting unit is used to transfer the HDMI/DVI and IR signals input and carry the signals through two RJ-45
connectors over two low cost CAT-5/5e/6 LAN cables. The receiving unit is responsible for equalizing transferred
TMDS multimedia data and re-sending IR signals. The transmission distance between the sending and receiving
units can be up to 60m (200ft) under HD resolution (720p or 1080i) or 40m (130ft) under Full HD resolution
(1080p). With 8-level equalization control on the receiving unit, users can adjust the equalization scale to the
received TMDS signals, and therefore optimize the transmission distance between source and destination.
