Know before you buy
Yes. The kit features built-in down-scaling, which allows you to send a 4K signal to a modern display while simultaneously down-scaling that same signal to 1080p for older legacy monitors.
It does. The AC-EX40-444 supports HDR10, 12-bit, HDR10+, and HLG, ensuring full compatibility with high-dynamic-range content.
You can extend 4K60 4:4:4 signals up to 40 meters (131 feet) over Cat6a cable. If you are transmitting 1080p signals, that distance increases to 70 meters (230 feet).
No, you do not. The kit supports bi-directional Power Over HDBaseT (PoH), meaning you only need to connect the power supply to one side to power both the transmitter and the receiver.
The ICT is designed to be virtually lossless, meaning it maintains the integrity of the 18Gbps signal without any visible degradation to the 4K60 4:4:4 image quality.
Yes, the kit includes integrated test patterns that allow you to verify signal integrity and troubleshoot connectivity issues between your source and display without needing external equipment.
