Question 1

How far does the kit extend, and at what resolution?

Accepted Answer

4K@60Hz 4:4:4 to 40 metres (130ft) and 1080p@60Hz 4:4:4 to 70 metres (230ft) over HDBaseT, at HDMI 2.0b and 18Gbps.

Question 2

Which HDCP versions does it carry?

Accepted Answer

HDCP 1.4 and HDCP 2.2.

Question 3

Can I pass control signals as well as video?

Accepted Answer

Yes. IR in both directions on Phoenix and 3.5mm jacks, and RS-232 between transmitter and receiver.

Question 4

What audio does it carry?

Accepted Answer

LPCM 2/5.1/7.1CH, Dolby Digital, DTS 5.1 and Dolby Digital Plus over HDMI, with optical output supporting LPCM 2CH, LPCM 5.1, Dolby Digital 2/5.1CH and DTS 2/5.1CH.

Question 5

Does the wall plate need its own power?

Accepted Answer

The kit is powered on DC 24V through a Phoenix jack, from the supplied AC 100-240V to DC 24V/1A supply. Maximum consumption is 9W.

Question 6

What size back box does the transmitter need?

Accepted Answer

It is a single-gang plate, 4.07in x 1.81in x 1.18in, 0.36 lbs. The receiver is a separate 6.18in x 3.54in x 0.79in box weighing 0.73 lbs.

Question 7

The picture drops at 4K but is stable at 1080p.

Accepted Answer

4K@60Hz is rated to 40m; 1080p runs to 70m. A cable run between those two figures carries 1080p reliably and 4K unreliably. Shorten the run or drop the source resolution.

Question 8

IR is not reaching the source.

Accepted Answer

Check which end the emitter and receiver are on: IR INPUT and IR OUTPUT exist at both the transmitter and the receiver, and reversing them is the common mistake.

Question 9

What is supplied in the kit?

Accepted Answer

An HDMI wall plate transmitter, an HDBaseT receiver and two 2-pin Phoenix connectors. It is CE, FCC and UL certified.

Question 10

Will it fit a standard single-gang wall box?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is a single-gang plate with one HDMI input, in a black metal enclosure.
