Overview
The BG-EXH-8KC6 is an 8K HDMI and USB over HDBaseT Extender designed to extend the range of uncompressed HD/UHD video and audio signals, including eARC/ARC, RS-232, bi-directional IR, 1GbE Ethernet, and USB 2.0 signals, up to 295ft (90m) using a single CAT6A/7 cable.
This extender supports video resolutions up to 8K@30Hz 4:4:4 10bit, 4K@120Hz 4:4:4 10bit, and 4K@60Hz 4:4:4. Additionally, it incorporates eARC/ARC functionality, allowing the transmission of audio signals from the receiver HDMI output pass-through to the transmitter's HDMI input or audio de-embedding to the transmitter's output port.
The device also facilitates USB 2.0 signal transmission with configurable Host/Device settings per device and bi-directional Power over Cable (POC) functionality. For home or commercial applications requiring long-distance signal transmission, the BG-EXH-8KC6 stands out as the ideal 8K signal solution.
