1.0 Introduction
Product Description
The ULTRA-4K is comprised of the ULTRA-4K-S Sender and the ULTRA-
4K-R Receiver. The system is used to extend USB 2.0 and dual display
HDMI video supporting various resolutions including 1080p @ 60Hz and
4K UHD @ 30Hz. Dual video and USB can be extended to one or more
Receivers up to a distance of 100m (328ft) over a single CAT6 cable.
The Sender features two HDMI inputs and one USB input for connection
to a dual-head PC. It provides two local HDMI outputs (corresponding to
the two HDMI inputs) and also features an internal USB hub with two
local USB outputs. Additionally, there are three separate RJ45 output
ports to extend video and USB to multiple remote locations.
The Receiver provides two HDMI outputs and 6 USB ports. Two of the
USB ports are labeled for use with keyboard and mouse, however they
can also be connected to other USB devices such as KVM switches or
touch-screen displays if desired.
For connection of other USB devices such as printers or scanners, four
additional general-purpose USB 2.0 ports are provided. For security
purposes, USB memory devices are not supported by default. If you want
to enable USB memory support, please contact Hall Research.
In a setup with one sender going to only one Receiver, the USB ports
automatically pair with the Sender. However when there are more than
one ULTRA-4K Receiver connected to the same sender, only one
Receiver can be paired at a given time. Pairing is accomplished using a
push button on the front panel of the Receiver. A corresponding LED
next to the button indicates USB pairing status with the Sender.
Each Receiver features an RJ45 “LINK OUT” port that can be daisy-
chained to down-stream Receivers. All signals are re-buffered, so the
LINK OUT port can drive cables to 100 meters long.
It in important to note that the RJ45 output ports (on the Sender or the
Receiver), can also be connected to ULTRA-V Receivers. ULTRA-V
Receivers provide only one video output and no USB. The ULTRA-V
Receivers show Video A by default, however, they can be configured to
display Video B if desired. Please refer to the ULTRA-V User’s Manual for
further details.
