The AVPro Edge primary extender is the most cost-effective, state-of-the-art, and reliable single CAT 6A 70-meter extender on the market today. It solves problems for both commercial and residential markets for distributing high-value 4K UHD content from rack to display. With the additional ability to cascade extenders, affordable and reliable HDMI extension is now possible. Additionally, AC-EX70-UHD offers solutions for UHD/HD uncompressed distribution in residential digital entertainment centers, retail stores, and AV events that require reliable and long-distance distribution, suitable for Data Centers, Control Rooms, Conference Rooms, Schools, and Corporate Training environments.
HD and UHD 4K HDMI EXTENSION - HDCP was conceived to assure content holders copy protection for their media. The 19 conductor HDMI format was designed to facilitate this process when transporting media between devices, using a total of 8, small gauge wires to handle video information with the bulk of those remaining devoted to system policing. It wasn’t envisioned that sources would be placed elsewhere than the immediate display location, and the first HDMI cable designs dramatically exemplified these inherent problems with a useable HDMI cable length barely exceeding fifteen feet. Over time, this thankfully has been addressed in a variety of well-sorted ways, including AVPro Edge Bullet Train cables. Still, there are no “on-site, made to length” HDMI cables; electronic extension kits using category wire have resolved this issue, plus offering additional application options. AVPro Edge’s pioneering AC-EX70-UHD-KIT was among the first HDMI signal extension packages to perfectly preserve all the fidelity in the original signal.
COMPREHENSIVE EDID MANAGEMENT - Legacy HD displays are often retained for use in new installation projects and occasionally their dated EDIDs impart problems contending with present-day sources. Robust EDID control on the AC-EX70-UHD-KIT enables juggling video resolutions and audio codec combinations for an EDID that provides a congenial match for reliable system operation. EDID Copy allows for acute copying and saving of a known, working EDID, for stable kit functionality and HDCP repeatability.
DISTANCE CAPABILITIES - Transmission distance varies by resolution bandwidth. HD 1080P signals can be sent 70 meters (230’) while 4K resolutions reliably reach 40 meters (115’). For new construction or whenever possible, shielded CAT6A is recommended.
