Overview
The Gefen GTB-UHD-HBTL is designed to extend 4K Ultra High Definition HDMI signals through a single fiber optic cable enabling distances up to 660 feet at full 4K60 4:4:4 resolution and HDR support.
This device utilizes optical transmission instead of traditional copper cabling to minimize signal degradation and EMI interference over long runs.
It supports HDMI 2.0b specification, HDCP 2.2 compliance, and features both stereo audio and multi-channel embedded audio transmission.
The unit includes EDID management, allowing seamless compatibility with various display devices by emulating or passing through EDID data.
Additional control options include IR pass-through for remote device management and RS232 serial control support for system integration.
Power over fiber is not supported; the transmitter and receiver require separate power supplies.
