The
ASP-CATx2
boosts up your HDMI transmission distance up to 60m (200ft) in HDTV
720p/1080i format. With two low cost Cat-5/5e/6 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 remote HDMI displays such as HDTV, LCD PC monitors, or projectors. This cost effective
flexibility makes HDCP compliant DVD players or PS3 transmit high quality video and audio at a
greater distance and the minimal cost. In addition, with the embedded infrared (IR) receiver and
blaster to facilitate the IR pass-through, users can enjoy high quality audio/video and control the
HDMI sources from the remote site instantly.
The ASP-CATx2 includes two units: ASP-CATx2-TX as the transmitting unit and ASP-CATx2-RX
as the receiving unit. The transmitting unit is used to transfer the audio/video and IR signals
through two low cost Cat-5/5e/6 cables. The receiving unit is responsible for equalizing
transferred HDMI multimedia data and re-sending IR signals received from the remote control of
the HDMI source device. 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 rotary control switch on the receiving unit, users can adjust the
strength of the signal level to the received HDMI signals accordingly, and therefore optimize the
transmission length between HDMI source and display.

The length depends on the characteristics and quality of the cables.
Higher
resolutions and longer transmission distances require low skew cables
(<25ns/100m) for best performance. Unshielded CAT6 with metal RJ-45
connectors is recommended.
