Features

Overview: The Simplified MFG EXeARC1 HDMI extender features an HDMI Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX) module that lets you extend 4K HDMI signals up to 164' while supporting ARC and eARC via a CAT5e or CAT6 connection (sold separately).

Supported Video Resolutions: The EXeARC1 HDMI extender is HDMI 2.0, HDCP 2.2, and DVI 1.0 compliant, making it capable of passing most any type of video signal. It supports 18Gbps bandwidth for HDR 8/10/10+ and Dolby Vision transmission. Supported video formats and resolutions include:

  • 4K/2K@50/60Hz (YUV 4:4:4, 4:2:0)
  • 4K/2K@30Hz/24-bit
  • 1080p3D@60Hz/36-bit
  • 1080p@60Hz/48-bit
  • 1080p@120Hz/24-bit

Color Space: (RGB/YCbCr) 4:4:4 & 4:2:2, (YUV) 4:2:0

Color Depth:

  • 8/10/12-Bit: 1080p@60Hz
  • 8-Bit: 4K@60Hz

HDMI/HDCP: The EXeARC1 HDMI extender is HDMI 2.0b and HDCP 2.2/1.4 compliant, making it capable of passing most any type of video signal.

Transmission Distance: Up to 164' (50M).

Connections: The EXeARC1 Transmitter includes an HDMI In for connecting a playback device such as a DVD or Blu-ray player. An HDMI Audio Out on the Transmitter provides the ARC/eARC audio return signal. When the ARC/eARC function is turned on (via the 2 Mode switches), the Audio Out outputs the audio returned from the HDMI Out of the Receiver module. When ARC/eARC is turned off, the HDMI Audio Out passes the audio extracted from the HDMI In port on the Transmitter. The HDMI Receiver includes a single HDMI Out for connection to a TV or monitor. Signal transmission between the Transmitter and the Receiver is made using CAT5e or CAT6 cable (sold separately) connected to each module's HDBaseT port.

Supported Audio Formats:

  • HDMI Out (Receiver): PCM 2.0, DTS 5.1, and Dolby 5.1 - all at 32kHz, 44.1kHz, or 48kHz.
  • HDMI Audio Out (Transmitter): LPCM, Dolby Digital/Plus/EX, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-EX, DTS-96/24, DTS High Res, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DSD.

Control:

  • IR: The Simplified MFG EXeARC1 supports bi-directional infrared control signals, letting you send IR signals over CAT5e or CAT6 cable to control devices on both ends of the system. 3.5mm IR In and IR Out jacks on both the Transmitter and Receiver let you use the two included IR Receivers and IR Blasters for controlling a connected playback device on the Transmitter and a TV or monitor connected to the Receiver.
  • RS-232: Both the EXeARC1 Transmitter and Receiver modules include a 3-pin Euroblock (Phoenix) connector for bi-directional RS-232 commands, letting you connect an optional third-party RS-232 controller to either module and control a connected device on the opposite end.

PoE: The EXeARC1 Transmitter and Receiver include 24VDC power inputs for connecting the included AC power supply (24VDC/1A output). Only one module, Transmitter or Receiver, will require a power connection and will supply power to the other module via PoE (Power over Ethernet) through the connected CAT6/6a cable.

Service Port: The Simplified MFG EXeARC1 Transmitter and Receiver both include a front-panel micro-B USB Service Port for updating the firmware.

This would be particularly useful for those who cannot run new HDMI cables over long distances, but may already have Ethernet throughout their home.
