Lindy 70m Cat.6 HDMI 4K60, audio, IR en RS-232 HDBaseT-extender met ARC

The Lindy 70m Cat.6 HDMI 4K60, Audio, IR and RS-232 HDBaseT Extender is a complete end to end high performance, reliable solution for extending HDMI signals over long distances via Cat.6 network cable.

The following distance and resolution combinations are possible when using high quality Cat.6 U/UTP or F/UTP cable:70m: 3840x2160@60Hz 4:4:4 8bit / 4:2:2 12bit

Supporting resolutions up to 4K Ultra HD, video can be viewed in stunning clarity, while additional support for HDR (High Dynamic Range) allows content to be displayed with enhanced brightness, greater contrasts of blacks and whites and a much wider colour gamut. This provides a reliable solution for creating eye-catching digital signage in retail, immersive displays at events or engaging setups in larger conference rooms or lectures halls.

ARC support over HDMI allows for audio content to be returned from the display to a connected amplifier or soundbar, while local audio extraction allows for the connection of audio outputs for immersive multi-channel audio. Digital audio embedding at the receiver side can also be used for source audio, which can easily be switching via the dip-switch on the receiver unit.

PoC (Power over Cable) functionality provides additional flexibility. This allows power to be supplied alongside data through Cat.6 network cable in a point-to-point connection between the transmitter and receiver, meaning only a single power supply is required at the transmitter or receiver unit. Ideal for example when power outlets are limited at the receiver end of the installation.

Featuring bi-directional IR ports at both sides of the setup, the source equipment can be easily controlled from the display side, and the display can also be controlled from the HDMI source side. This extension system allows for complete and simple control for the user providing also RS-232 port via terminal block.

In addition, the power supply is connected via a screw type DC jack, providing a more secure and reliable connection, perfect for professional installations where accidental disconnections could create a major issue.

HDBaseT is a globally recognised standard for high quality distribution of AV content and other technologies, including power and control, over longer distances via low cost Cat.6 or above cable.

Please Note: the quoted lengths and resolutions are possible with a direct connection between Transmitter and Receiver using good quality Cat.6 or above cable. Using a different cable type, introducing couplers, wall plates or patch panels may result in a reduction of possible distances.

How to use

Connect the HDMI source to the transmitter and the display to the receiver using standard HDMI cables. Use a single Cat.6 U/UTP or F/UTP cable for the point-to-point connection between transmitter and receiver, ensuring no couplers or patch panels are introduced if you need to achieve the quoted 70 m distance. Apply power to either the transmitter or receiver (PoC) or to both units as required. Configure audio routing using the receiver dip-switch to select between embedded digital audio or local extraction, and connect external audio devices to the audio outputs if needed. Use the IR ports or RS-232 terminal block to control source or display devices remotely.

Recommendations

To ensure the specified distances and resolutions, use high-quality Cat.6 U/UTP or F/UTP cable in a direct run between transmitter and receiver. Avoid in-line couplers, wall plates or patch panels, which can reduce maximum range. For professional installations, use the screw-type DC jack and secure power connections; consider using PoC from the transmitter if receiver-side outlets are limited.
