Know before you buy
Yes, the AC-EX40-444-KIT supports all major HDR formats, including HDR10, HDR10+, HLG, and Dolby Vision, ensuring full compatibility with modern high-bandwidth content.
You can achieve a maximum transmission distance of 40 meters (131 feet) when using high-quality Cat6a cabling. While it supports both UTP and STP, Cat6a is recommended to ensure the full 18Gbps bandwidth required for 4K60 4:4:4 signals.
The transmitter features integrated down-scaling, which allows you to send a 4K signal to a primary display while simultaneously outputting a 1080p signal to a secondary monitor or older display that cannot handle 4K resolution.
No, this kit utilizes bi-directional Power over HDBaseT (PoH). You only need to connect the power supply to either the transmitter or the receiver, and it will provide power to the other unit through the Cat6a cable.
Yes, the unit includes built-in 4K and HD test patterns on both the transmitter and receiver. These tools allow you to verify cable integrity and signal path connectivity without needing an external signal generator.
Absolutely. The kit supports bi-directional IR and RS232 pass-through, allowing you to send control signals between the source and display locations seamlessly.
