StarTech.com ST121HDBTE Audio/Video Extender AV Transmitter and Receiver

Extend an HDMI signal up to 70m over a single Cat5 cable

The StarTech.com HDBaseT extender kit allows you to extend an HDMI signal up to 70 meters over a single CAT5e or CAT6 cable. The extender supports Ultra HD and Full HD (4K / 1080p) resolutions, as well as 3D and associated digital audio. For added versatility, both the transmitter and receiver can be powered by a single power source, thanks to the POC ("Power Over Cable") system. The versatility of this video extender makes it an ideal solution for digital signage applications in large buildings, such as shopping malls, stadiums, schools, and hospitals.

What is HDBaseT?

HDBaseT is a standard, zero-latency video distribution technology that is revolutionizing HDMI video distribution. HDBaseT uses an advanced modulation method that allows for the distribution of uncompressed HDMI audio and video, as well as other signals such as 100BaseT Ethernet, IR, RS-232 serial, and power over cable.

Extend your reach much further with HDBaseT

The extender offers HDBaseT technology with HDMI and power in a single extender kit, as a complete, all-in-one solution. Given that it offers more versatility than conventional HDMI extenders or HDMI cabling, HDBaseT is the most suitable choice for any integrator and system designer. The added advantage of POC power means that only one power source is needed at one end of your extension, which is ideal for video extension in spaces where there is a limited number of power outlets; for example, industrial installations.

Impressive 4K image quality at a long distance

Now that the audiovisual industry is increasingly adopting 4K technology as the high-resolution video standard, long-distance video distribution can be quite a challenge when using conventional HDMI cables, whose image quality begins to degrade at a distance of 9.1 meters. Thanks to 4K support, you will be amazed at how HDBaseT maintains the quality of your Ultra HD images—four times the resolution of 1080p high definition—which can be maintained even at a distance of 39.6 meters from your video source. Additionally, since the extender supports 1080p high definition and lower resolutions at distances of up to 70.1 meters, you can use this extender without issues to ensure that images from any video source look flawless.

Simplify your setup

This extender has been specifically designed for a simple and tidy installation. HDBaseT technology allows for single-cable installation for seamless integration using existing CAT5e or CAT6 infrastructure, to avoid the hassle of using multiple Ethernet cables and reduce the potential for points of failure. Furthermore, the added benefit of POC power means that only one power source is needed to power your extender and receiver, which is ideal for extension in spaces where there is a limited number of power outlets. Mounting hardware is also included for both the extender and the receiver for a professional and discreet installation.
