OREI EX-165C HDMI 1.4 Extender over Cat6/7 - 1080p@165ft / 4K@130ft, Bi-directional IR, PoC, HDR & Loop Out
The OREI EX-165C HDMI over Ethernet Extender is a high-performance, feature-rich solution for extending HDMI audio and video signals over long distances, ideal for both residential and commercial installations. This robust kit, comprising a transmitter (TX) and a receiver (RX) unit, is fully HDMI 1.4 and HDCP 1.4 compliant, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of modern display and source devices. It boasts a 10.2Gbps video bandwidth and supports video resolutions up to 1080p@60Hz over a distance of 165 feet using a single Cat6 or Cat7 cable. Remarkably, it can also transmit 4K@30Hz signals up to 130 feet over the same cabling, making it versatile for various resolution requirements.
Beyond its impressive signal extension capabilities, the EX-165C incorporates several advanced features for enhanced user experience. It supports HDR pass-through for vibrant color and contrast, and comprehensive audio pass-through for formats including PCM7.1, Dolby True HD, and DTS HD. A crucial convenience feature is the HDMI loop output on the transmitter, allowing a local display to be connected near the source. For seamless control, it includes bi-directional IR control, enabling operation of source devices from the remote display location and vice-versa. The Power Over Cable (PoC) technology simplifies installation by powering both units from a single 12V/1A power adapter, eliminating the need for an additional power outlet at the receiver. The system also benefits from advanced EDID management for optimal display compatibility.
Each unit is housed in a durable metal enclosure and features a compact design, with precise connectivity options including HDMI Type A (female) and RJ45 (8-pin female) ports, along with 3.5mm stereo mini-jack ports for IR control. The package includes all necessary accessories for immediate setup, such as IR blaster and receiver cables, a power adapter, and a user manual.
