Atlona 4K/UHD HDMI over HDBaseT Receiver - Ethernet, Control, & PoE - AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX

Product Overview

The Atlona AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX is a 4K/UHD HDBaseT receiver that accepts HDMI signals transmitted over category cable from distances up to 330 feet (100 meters) in commercial AV systems. It is designed for point-to-point HDMI extension over HDBaseT in conference rooms, boardrooms, and training environments where the display or projector must be located far from the AV rack or source switcher. The receiver supports signals up to 4K/UHD at 60 Hz with embedded multi-channel audio and is powered remotely over the HDBaseT cable via Power over Ethernet, requiring no local AC outlet at the display location.

Product Description

The Atlona AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX receives 4K/UHD HDMI signals, 100Base-T Ethernet, RS-232, and IR control signals from a compatible HDBaseT transmitter or switcher over a single category cable. With CAT6a or CAT7 cabling, the receiver supports 4K/UHD at 60 Hz across distances up to 100 meters (328 feet); with CAT5e or CAT6, it achieves 4K up to 70 meters (230 feet) and 1080p up to 100 meters. The unit is HDCP 2.2 compliant and supports 4K HDR10 at 24 Hz, ensuring compatibility with protected Ultra HD content. It is remotely powered by the paired AT-UHD-EX-100CE-TX transmitter or a compatible Atlona switcher using IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet over the HDBaseT link, eliminating the need for a local AC outlet behind the display or projector. The quarter rack-width metal enclosure measures just 25 mm in height, making it easy to mount behind flat-panel displays or above projectors in confined spaces. Rear-panel I/O connectors maintain clean wire management, and a front-panel USB port enables straightforward firmware updates in the field. The AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX is compatible with the full range of Atlona UHD-PRO3, UHD-CAT, SW, CLSO, and HDVS-200 series products featuring HDBaseT outputs, providing flexible integration options for multi-zone AV systems. An optional AT-IR-CS-RX IR receiver cable can be added for capturing 12V IR remote commands to control the AV system. Available from Creation Networks, this receiver is well suited for any professional installation requiring reliable 4K signal delivery at the display end without local power infrastructure.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX need a local power outlet at the display location?

No. The receiver is powered remotely by the AT-UHD-EX-100CE-TX transmitter or a compatible Atlona switcher via IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet delivered over the HDBaseT cable. No AC outlet is required at the display or projector end of the installation.

Q: What cable type is needed to receive 4K signals at the full 100-meter distance?

CAT6a or CAT7 shielded twisted pair cable is required for 4K/UHD reception at distances up to 100 meters (328 feet). CAT5e or CAT6 supports 4K reception up to 70 meters (230 feet) and 1080p up to 100 meters.

Q: Which Atlona switchers can drive the AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX?

The receiver is compatible with the AT-UHD-EX-100CE-TX transmitter and with Atlona UHD-PRO3, UHD-CAT, SW, CLSO, and HDVS-200 series products featuring HDBaseT outputs. Note that Ethernet pass-through is not available when the receiver is used with UHD-PRO3 series matrix switchers.

Q: Can the receiver pass IR control commands to the connected display?

Yes. The AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX includes a 5-pin captive screw IR connector. When the optional AT-IR-CS-RX IR receiver cable is connected, the unit captures 12V IR commands from a remote control to pass back to the source or control system at the transmitter end.

Q: Does the receiver support 4K HDR?

Yes. The AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX supports 4K HDR10 at 24 Hz with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling and 10-bit color. HDR10 at 60 Hz is not supported by this unit. Content sourced from Ultra HD Blu-ray players at 4K/24 Hz is fully compatible.

Q: Is Ethernet available on the receiver side?

Yes, the receiver includes an RJ45 LAN port for 100Base-T Ethernet pass-through. However, Ethernet pass-through is not available when the unit is connected to an Atlona UHD-PRO3 series matrix switcher.

Q: Where can I purchase the AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX?

The AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX is available from Creation Networks, an authorized Atlona reseller specializing in commercial AV solutions for businesses, government, and education.
