PT-HDBT-210 – HDBaseT 18G Extender Set: 4K HDR Signal Extension and Audio Integration
The PT-HDBT-210 HDBaseT Extender Set comprises a transmitter and receiver, engineered for reliable long-distance HDMI 2.0 signal extension in professional AV environments such as meeting rooms, control rooms, and hybrid workspaces. Using a single Cat.x cable, it transmits 4K HDR video up to 40 metres and 1080p up to 70 metres, while supporting bidirectional IR, RS232, and Power over Cable (PoC) for streamlined installation. Integrated scaler technology enables automatic upscaling from 1080p to 4K, and advanced EDID/HDCP management is accessible via DIP switches. Audio de-embedding, ARC support, and firmware upgrade capability further enhance system flexibility for demanding AV deployments.

• Long-Distance HDMI Transmission: Transmits HDMI signals over HDBaseT up to 40 metres at 4K resolution and 70 metres at 1080p using a single Cat.x cable. This capability supports reliable video distribution in large meeting spaces, control rooms, or signage applications without signal degradation.

• 18Gbps 4K HDR Support: Handles HDMI 2.0 signals up to 18Gbps, supporting resolutions up to 4K UltraHD at 60Hz (4:4:4) with HDR. The design ensures compatibility with HDCP 2.2 and both active and passive HDCP modes for secure content transmission in professional AV systems.

• Bidirectional PoC and ARC Functions: Enables power delivery from either transmitter or receiver via PoC, reducing power supply requirements and simplifying cable topology. Audio Return Channel (ARC) and external audio transmission from receiver to transmitter are supported for integrated audio routing in hybrid AV environments.

• Advanced EDID and HDCP Management: DIP switch-controlled EDID and HDCP management allows precise configuration of signal compatibility between source and display. Built-in test patterns and status LEDs facilitate troubleshooting and system verification during installation and maintenance.

• Integrated Scaler and Audio De-Embedding: Built-in scaler technology provides automatic upscaling from 1080p input to 4K output, optimising compatibility with modern displays. Audio de-embedding on the receiver, with S/PDIF output, enables direct integration with external audio systems or amplifiers.

Comprehensive Signal Extension with Flexible Control
By combining long-range HDBaseT transmission, integrated scaling, and advanced audio management, the PT-HDBT-210 supports diverse AV deployment scenarios. Bidirectional PoC, IR, and RS232 streamline installation and device control, while DIP switch management and firmware upgradeability address evolving system requirements. This unit provides a technically robust solution for AV professionals seeking reliable signal extension and flexible integration in modern workspaces and control environments.
