Frequently Asked Questions
What is an HDBaseT HDMI transmitter and how does it work?
An HDBaseT HDMI transmitter like the HDMI-TPS-TX86 converts HDMI signals into a format that travels over standard CATx network cables. This allows you to extend video, audio, and control signals over much longer distances than traditional HDMI cables, which are limited to about 15 meters. The transmitter sends the signal to a receiver at the destination, reconstructing the original HDMI output.
Can I extend 4K video with the HDMI-TPS-TX86 over CATx cable?
Yes. The HDMI-TPS-TX86 supports 4K video with 48-bit color depth over a single CATx cable, making it ideal for modern 4K displays and projectors. This eliminates the need for expensive fiber-optic solutions while maintaining broadcast-quality video fidelity.
Does the HDMI-TPS-TX86 support 3D video and high refresh rates?
Yes. The HDMI-TPS-TX86 supports 120 Hz 3D signals, making it suitable for immersive video applications, gaming systems, and advanced AV installations that require high refresh rate performance.
How do I power the HDMI-TPS-TX86?
The HDMI-TPS-TX86 offers flexible power options: remote power delivery through the CATx cable itself, or a local power supply. This flexibility simplifies installation in locations where power outlets are difficult to access.
