OSD Audio's new HDMI Wall Plate Extender kit solves the problem of transmitting HDMI over long wiring runs. The kit transmits high-definition 1080p video, 5.1 surround sound over two CAT-5/6 cables in runs of up to 300ft.
The HDMI Extender Kit allows a high-definition display to be located up to 300ft away from a high-definition source using cat5/e cables. It is fully HDCP compliant and adheres to HDMI v1.3 specification for passing high-definition video and audio signals, and supports resolutions of 720p, 1080i, and 1080p.
Have you ever had a situation where you needed to run over 100ft of HDMI cable? Did you know that running HDMI over 100ft can cause signal quality to degrade and will not ensure 1080i and 1080p? If that is the case we have a solution for you. This is the CAT-5 extender for HDMI (sender and receiver). Extends your HDTV display up to 200 feet away from your HDTV source using two CAT-5, CAT5E, or CAT-6 cables. It is equipped with HDMI connectors. Also this is capable of supporting DVI (digital visual interface) equipment when used with a HDMI to DVI adapter. This is perfect for when you want to integrate multiple home theater components in different rooms.
The CAT-5 extender for HDMI sender can be placed near your source such as your dvd player or computer. The CAT-5 extender for HDMI receiver sits next to your HDTV display up to 330ft away. Two CAT-5, CAT5E, or CAT-6 cables (not included) connect the sender and the receiver unit to each other. Includes: 5 VDC Power Supply (approvals include UL and CE).
Attention: Because the high bandwidth transmitted through the Cat5/Cat6 cables. Please make sure use high quality Cat5 (Plenum) cables and make sure terminating RJ45 connectors carefully. We've found out that sometimes severely bending the Cat5 cables and not making good termination on the RJ45 connectors will cause the failure of the system.
Also, it is a good idea to power down all of your equipment before connecting this device.
hi! Do you have experience that this will run in 5.1 audio channel? Cause in my experience, i have bought 2 of like this in amazon each have diff brand, none of them will run in my 5.1 Bose speakers, it only give me 2channels from my speakers. The 1080p resolutions have no prob with this, im running it with 100ft cat6 stp cable. I hope this one will run my 5.1 audio channel.
my home is wired with a single line cat5 to several rooms. Is it necessary to run this system to a double line wired cat5 or will it work with the single wire cat5 I have installed in my home?
