Product Description

The Atlona AT-UHD-EX-70C-TX (SKU: AT-UHD-EX-70C-TX) is an HDBaseT transmitter for HDMI transmission up to 230 feet (70 meters) over category cable with RS-232 and IR control pass-through. It transmits video signals up to 4K/UHD at 60 Hz with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling, plus embedded multi-channel audio, making it well-suited for AV installations that demand high-resolution content delivery without costly fiber infrastructure. The AT-UHD-EX-70C-TX is HDCP 2.2 compliant and supports EDID communication, ensuring reliable handshaking between source and display devices.

This transmitter supports 4K HDR10 at 24 Hz with 4:2:0 chroma subsampling and 10-bit color depth, providing a clear upgrade path for HDR-capable display environments. At 1080p, the unit extends signals up to 230 feet (70 meters) over CAT6/6a/7 cable, and up to 200 feet (60 meters) over CAT5e — flexible enough for a wide range of installation scenarios.

The AT-UHD-EX-70C-TX passes bidirectional RS-232 and IR control signals over the HDBaseT link, eliminating the need for separate control wiring runs. CEC pass-through is also supported. The unit is locally AC-powered via an included universal power supply, and as an IEEE 802.3af PoE Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) device, it can power a compatible remote receiver such as the AT-UHD-EX-70C-RX — reducing installation cost and complexity.

Multi-channel audio formats are fully supported, including PCM 2.0, LPCM 5.1, LPCM 7.1, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS Digital Surround, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS:X. The low-profile, quarter rack-width metal enclosure measures just 0.93 x 4.2 x 2.95 inches and includes surface mounting brackets for installation under tables, in furniture, or on walls. A front-panel USB port enables straightforward field firmware updates. The included power supply can chain power to up to three Atlona HDBaseT extenders simultaneously, reducing the number of power supplies needed in a system.
