New HDMI Extenders over Cat5/6 from SmartAVI Give Users Flexibility in Inexpensive Signal Extension

PRLog - Mar. 5, 2014 - NORTH HOLLYWOOD, Calif. -- For uncompressed HDMI signal extension, the new series of extenders from SmartAVI provide the answer users need. With the new RKT8-HDX100 and RKT16-HDX100 HDMI extender racks, users can extend eight or 16 HDMI signals up to 150 feet in one compact and rack-mountable unit. For those looking to link smaller amounts of HDMI devices, the HDX-LX provides 250 feet of extension, including bi-directional IR capabilities.

SmartAVI developed these products to expand its line of HDMI extenders with guidance from customer feedback. With the HDX-LX, users will find an affordable device that utilizes HDBaseT technology. With the RKT rack units, users will get an aggressively-priced and user-friendly system to manage wire organization.

A key feature of the HDX-LX and RKT rack units is their use of inexpensive Cat5/6 cables. These are the same cables that people rely on day in and day out to deliver LAN and Internet signals. For the extension of HD signals, Cat5/6 cables provide users with economical way to send crystal clear HDMI signals quickly and effectively.

“Users need the freedom and flexibility to create the right signal flow for their needs, and our newest signal extenders give systems architects lots of options,” said Albert Cohen, CEO of SmartAVI. “Even better, these are cost-effective solutions that are easy to implement.”
