DIGITUS 4K HDMI Extender Set HDBaseT, up to 70 m over one CAT Cable, 4K/30Hz up to 40 m, Bidirectional IR, Black

The DIGITUS DS-55500 is a wired HDMI extender set that uses HDBaseT technology to carry HDMI video and audio over a single network cable between a transmitter and a receiver — up to 70 m for HD content and up to 40 m for 4K/30Hz content on CAT 6 cable. It is the classic way to place a projector, a meeting-room screen or a bar TV far away from the source in a fixed installation.

Because the signal runs over a copper CAT cable instead of radio, the picture is steady and the delay is negligible. A bidirectional IR link lets you use the source’s remote control from the screen end, and CEC, Deep Color and compressed and uncompressed audio formats (Dolby Digital, DTS, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD, LPCM) are passed through.

• 1× HDMI extender transmitter unit
• 1× HDMI extender receiver unit
• 2× power supply units (DC 12V/2A)
• 1× IR transmitter unit
• 1× IR receiver unit
• 2× fixing kits incl. screws
• 1× operating instructions

• Run one CAT 5e/6/6A/7 cable between the two units — no Ethernet switch in the path.
• Both ends have their own 12V power supply (included).
• Point the IR receiver where the remote is used, place the IR emitter at the source — your existing remote now works from the other room.
• The fixing kits let you screw the units to a wall, under a desk or behind a display.

• No 4K/60Hz — 4K is supported at 30Hz (up to 4096x2160).
• Not for routing over an office LAN or through a switch; use an IP extender (e.g. DS-55517) for that.
• No USB / keyboard-mouse extension (no KVM).
• Not one-to-many: one transmitter feeds one receiver.
• No PoE: each unit needs its power supply.
