My task was to set up a audio visual solution based 4K HDMI Extender for a projection mapping in a smart conference meeting room. I had to link a computer/laptop locating in Front-of-House (FoH) with the projector on a LCD screen display. Like 30 meters apart from each other. At this time, 4K HDMI Extender plays a vital role
There come situations, we cannot pot the source of the video and audio signal (a computer/laptop, gaming console, etc…) close to the LCD monitor, TV or projector. Of course, we can use longer HDMI cable but there are limitations in length which is around 50 feet (15 meters) for the 1080p signal, 4K even less. Often the distance between computer or TV is much larger and here comes the 4K HDMI extender into play.
4K HDMI extenders convert the HDMI signal to something that can push the high bandwidth required for high-quality video over a longer distance. One of the easiest transmission methods is serial communication over Cat 5e or 6 Ethernet cable. The HDMI Extender consists of a transmitter and a receiver. You can also extend other signals like IR remote control commands, USB, and RS-232. You can also use an HDMI splitter extender for viewing one HDMI source on several televisions.
