Description

The AC-EX70-444-KIT was one of the first HDMI-over-HDBaseT extension kits capable of transporting full 4K/60fps 4:4:4 signals. Using AVPro Edge’s proprietary Invisible Compression Technology (ICT), the extender preserves HDR10 and dynamic metadata formats such as Dolby Vision, HDR10+, and HLG while maintaining pixel-perfect fidelity across CAT6A cabling at 18Gbps. Unlike solutions that rely on compression algorithms intended for lower-bandwidth applications—which often cause banding, color shifts, and motion artifacts—the AC-EX70-444-KIT ensures an artifact-free, color-accurate reproduction of the original signal.

The extender includes advanced features such as full EDID management, 4K-to-1080p downscaling for mixed-resolution systems, bidirectional IR and RS-232 control, dual 10/100 Ethernet ports for LAN extension, onboard 1080p/4K test pattern generation, and 2-channel PCM audio extraction. The system is engineered for high-performance distribution while maintaining a compact profile, making installation easy even in space-constrained environments.

Benefits

• Invisible Compression Technology: AVPro Edge’s ICT allows 4K HDR signals—including Dolby Vision and HDR10+—to pass over Cat5e/6/6A cable without visible compression artifacts. High-bitrate audio and HDR metadata remain fully intact, ensuring optimal performance with premium displays.
• Long-Range Mode: Enable Long-Range Mode to extend 1080p signals up to 150 meters (492 ft). The transmitter automatically downscales 4K inputs to 1080p for long-distance reliability while maintaining signal integrity.
• Downscaling: Built-in scaling circuitry can convert 4K (including HDR data) to 1080p for legacy displays, ensuring system-wide compatibility in mixed-resolution installations.
• EDID Management: EDID Copy and EDID Bypass simplify system integration and help resolve compatibility issues between displays, AVRs, and source devices.
• Test Pattern Generation: Both TX and RX units can generate 4K or 1080p test patterns to quickly identify cabling issues, switching problems, or EDID conflicts without requiring external test hardware.
• IR &RS-232 Management: Bidirectional control routing allows IR and RS-232 signals to pass between display and source locations. The transmitter’s I-PASS port supports direct IR input from automation systems for seamless control integration.
• Cascade Mode: Daisy-chain two AC-EX70-444-KIT units to extend HDMI transmission even further. Bidirectional PoH supplies power throughout the chain, reducing the need for mid-run power supplies.
