Introduction

 

The EX2ARC 18Gbps HDMI Extender can extend HDR/DolbyVision™ 4K 
Audio/Video, RS-232, bi-directional IR, Audio Return, and a LAN connection 
up to 295ft / 90 meters between transmitter and receiver via a single 
CAT6/6a cable and supports resolutions up to 4K2K@60Hz 4:4:4. In 
addition, the transmitter can be set to extract audio from the ARC, the 
S/PDIF at the RX, or from the HDMI source. Power is supplied via a single 
24V power supply that can be used at either the RX or the TX.

 

 

The EX2ARC is a perfect solution for instances when you need a LAN 
connection in an extender and has the added benefits of ARC, S/PDIF Audio 
return from the display, and Audio extraction depending on the setting of 
the function switch.
