ATEN True 4K HDMI HDBaseT-Lite extender (True 4K@35m) (HDBaseT Class B)

The ATEN VE1830 True 4K HDMI HDBaseT-Lite Extender is a compact transmitter (VE1830T) and receiver (VE1830R) pair designed to extend HDMI 2.0a signals up to 3840 x 2160 (4K) over a single Cat5e/6 cable for professional A/V installations. The kit supports HDCP 2.2, 3D and Deep Color, and includes Power over Cable (PoC) so the receiver can be powered from the transmitter when a power supply is connected to the transmitter.

Advantages

The VE1830 delivers visually lossless True 4K video over a single Cat5e/6 cable up to 35 m, reducing cabling complexity while maintaining HDMI 2.0a feature support. Built-in HDCP 2.2 compatibility and support for 3D and Deep Color ensure broad content compatibility. PoC simplifies installation by allowing the receiver to draw power from the transmitter, and the compact, lightweight design facilitates integration into classrooms, conference rooms, and home theatre setups.

How to use

Connect the HDMI source (for example a media player or PC) to the VE1830T transmitter’s HDMI input, and connect the display to the VE1830R receiver’s HDMI output. Link the transmitter and receiver with a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable no longer than 35 m. Plug the transmitter into its 12 V power supply; if PoC is supported and enabled, the receiver will be powered from the transmitter over the Cat cable. Ensure HDMI cables and source/display settings support the targeted 4K resolution and HDCP 2.2 where required.

Recommendations

For best results use high-quality Cat6 cable and keep cable runs within the specified 35 m. Verify that connected HDMI devices support HDMI 2.0a and HDCP 2.2 for full 4K compatibility; when using PoC, ensure the transmitter power supply is adequate to power both units.
