Atlona 4K HDR HDBaseT Receiver with Control, Ethernet, and Remote Power - AT-HDR-EX-100CEA-RX

Product Overview

The Atlona AT-HDR-EX-100CEA-RX is a professional HDBaseT receiver engineered for 4K HDR signal distribution in commercial AV installations. It extends 4K/UHD video at 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling, HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision content, plus multi-channel audio, Ethernet, RS-232, IR, and CEC control signals up to 330 feet (100 meters) over Category 6/6A cable. Designed for use with the AT-HDR-CAT-4ED distribution amplifier and AT-HDR-SW-52ED matrix switcher, this 4K HDR HDBaseT receiver over Cat6 is the display-end component for long-distance 4K signal extension in boardrooms, conference rooms, and multi-purpose spaces. Its compact form factor and remote power capability from the transmitter make it a practical choice for concealed installation behind displays, above projectors, or inside furniture.

Product Description

The Atlona AT-HDR-EX-100CEA-RX converts a single HDBaseT input into an HDMI output, delivering the full suite of 4K HDR signal types including HDR10, Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG), and Dolby Vision at up to 60 Hz over Category 6/6A cable runs of up to 330 feet. Visually lossless compression with no added latency preserves color accuracy at 4:4:4 chroma subsampling, making it suitable for presentation systems where image fidelity is a priority. The receiver terminates bidirectional RS-232 and IR control signals passed over HDBaseT, allowing AV control systems to communicate with displays and other devices at the far end of the cable run. A dedicated RJ45 LAN port provides local Ethernet connectivity to networked devices at the display location. An optical TOSLINK input on the receiver supports audio return from the display back through the system, enabling audio integration without additional cabling when used with compatible Atlona transmitters. The unit draws power remotely over the HDBaseT link from the AT-HDR-CAT-4ED or AT-HDR-SW-52ED transmitter, eliminating the need for a local power supply at the display location and simplifying installation in concealed spaces. HDCP 2.2 compliance ensures proper handling of copy-protected 4K content from Blu-ray players, streaming devices, and other protected sources. Front panel LEDs indicate power and link status at a glance, and a front panel USB port supports firmware updates in the field. The compact enclosure includes surface mounting hardware, allowing the receiver to be secured to a wall, furniture panel, or display mount. This receiver is NDAA Section 889 compliant, meeting federal procurement requirements for government installations.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What transmitter products are compatible with the AT-HDR-EX-100CEA-RX?

The AT-HDR-EX-100CEA-RX is designed for use with the AT-HDR-EX-100CEA-TX transmitter, the AT-HDR-CAT-4ED distribution amplifier, and the AT-HDR-SW-52ED matrix switcher. It is not compatible with the AT-HDR-EX-70C-TX or standard non-extended-distance HDBaseT transmitters for full 100-meter 4K performance.

Q: Does the AT-HDR-EX-100CEA-RX require a local power supply at the display?

No. The receiver is powered remotely over the HDBaseT cable by the connected transmitter or distribution amplifier, which supplies 48V PoE over the Cat cable. No local power outlet is needed at the receiver location.

Q: What category cable is required to achieve the full 330-foot (100-meter) distance at 4K?

Category 6 or Category 6A cable is required for the full 330-foot 4K/60 4:4:4 distance. Category 5e supports 4K up to approximately 295 feet (90 meters).

Q: Is Dolby Vision supported at 4K/60 Hz?

Yes, with a condition. 4K Dolby Vision at 60 Hz requires that both the source and display support Low Latency Dolby Vision (LLDV) mode. All other 4K HDR modes (HDR10, HLG) operate at full 60 Hz without restriction.

Q: Can this receiver be used in government installations requiring NDAA compliance?

Yes. The AT-HDR-EX-100CEA-RX is compliant with NDAA Section 889, which restricts certain telecommunications equipment from federal supply chains. It is suitable for government and public sector AV deployments.

Q: How is the RS-232 and IR control connected at the receiver end?

RS-232 and IR signals are terminated via a 6-pin captive screw connector on the rear panel. This allows connection to display serial control ports or IR emitters for control of the display from the source side of the system.

Q: Where can I purchase the AT-HDR-EX-100CEA-RX?

The AT-HDR-EX-100CEA-RX is available for purchase at creationnetworks.net, an authorized Atlona reseller specializing in commercial AV infrastructure.
