PT-HDBT-100 – HDBaseT HDMI Extender Set: Long-Distance AV Signal Distribution with Control Pass-Through
The PT-HDBT-100 HDBaseT Extender set comprises a transmitter and receiver designed for reliable HDMI signal extension in professional AV environments. Utilising Cat.5e or Cat.6a cabling, the system supports transmission distances suitable for meeting rooms, signage installations, and control rooms. The unit’s robust enclosure integrates mounting brackets and a screwable power supply, facilitating stable fixed installations. Bidirectional Power over Cable (PoC) reduces cabling complexity, while pass-through for IR and RS232 enables remote device management. DIP switch control provides selectable RS232 operation modes, supporting both configuration and firmware updates as required.

• HDMI Transmission via HDBaseT: Extends HDMI signals over Cat.5e/Cat.6a cabling up to 40 metres for 4K and 70 metres for 1080p content. This supports flexible equipment placement in AV installations where source and display devices are separated by significant distances.

• 10.2Gbps Bandwidth for 4K Video: Supports HDMI 1.4 and HDCP 2.2, enabling resolutions up to 4K UltraHD at 30Hz. The available bandwidth ensures compatibility with a wide range of professional video sources and displays, including those used in hybrid workspaces and presentation systems.

• Bidirectional PoC and Control Pass-Through: Provides Power over Cable in both directions, minimising the need for multiple power sources. Pass-through for IR and RS232 allows remote control of source or display devices, streamlining integration in control rooms and digital signage applications.

• DIP Switch for RS232 Mode: Features a DIP switch to select between RS232 control and update modes. This facilitates on-site configuration or firmware updates, supporting flexible deployment and maintenance in professional AV projects.

• Robust Enclosure and Secure Power: The metal enclosure with integrated mounting brackets ensures mechanical stability in permanent installations. A screwable power supply connection provides secure power delivery, reducing accidental disconnections in demanding environments.

Comprehensive Extension and Control Solution
By combining long-distance HDMI extension, bidirectional PoC, and integrated control pass-through, the PT-HDBT-100 supports streamlined AV deployments across varied environments. Its mechanical design and selectable RS232 modes provide installers with practical tools for secure, maintainable, and adaptable installations in meeting spaces, signage networks, and control room setups.
