Atlona Avance 4K HDMI Transmitter and Receiver Kit with Remote Power - AT-AVA-EX70-KIT

Product Overview

The Atlona AT-AVA-EX70-KIT is a 4K HDMI transmitter and receiver extension kit from the Avance Series, designed to extend 4K/UHD 60 Hz video up to 130 feet (40 meters) over a single Category 6/6A cable using HDBaseT technology. It is an ideal 4K HDBaseT extender kit for conference rooms, classrooms, and commercial meeting spaces where source equipment is separated from the display by distances that exceed standard HDMI cabling limits. The kit includes remote power capability, allowing the transmitter to supply DC power to the receiver over the same HDBaseT cable — eliminating the need for a local power outlet at the display end. Available from Creation Networks, the AT-AVA-EX70-KIT delivers installation-friendly features including EDID filtering, clock stretching, and an integrated HDBaseT link test for fast, reliable deployment.

Product Description

The Atlona AT-AVA-EX70-KIT is a complete transmitter and receiver kit from the Avance Series of 4K/UHD HDBaseT extension products. It transmits HDMI video with embedded multi-channel audio at resolutions up to 4K/UHD 60 Hz (4:2:0 chroma) up to 40 meters (130 feet) over Category 6/6A cable, and extends 1080p 60 Hz signals up to 70 meters (230 feet). The transmitter provides remote power to the receiver over the single HDBaseT cable, removing the requirement for a separate power supply at the display location. This feature significantly simplifies installation in ceiling-mounted projector applications, furniture-integrated display environments, and any location where running AC power to the receiver is inconvenient or impractical. EDID filtering prevents the transmitter from extending video resolutions that the destination display cannot support, protecting against blank-screen conditions during installation. Clock stretching improves connection stability with HDMI sources that have non-standard timing characteristics. The integrated HDBaseT link test function allows an installer to verify cable termination, cable quality, and link integrity directly from the front panel without specialized test equipment. The kit includes compact transmitter and receiver units, a power supply, wall and table mounting brackets, and an installation guide. Both units feature rear-panel connections for simplified wire management, a front-panel USB port for firmware updates, and front-panel LED indicators for power and link status. CEC pass-through is supported for display control over the HDBaseT link. Multi-channel audio formats including PCM, Dolby, and DTS pass through transparently without decoding at the extender level.

Key Features

• 4K/UHD Extension up to 130 Feet — Extends 4K/UHD 60 Hz 4:2:0 signals up to 40 meters (130 feet) over Category 6/6A cable, and 1080p 60 Hz up to 70 meters (230 feet).
• Remote Power over HDBaseT — Transmitter supplies DC power to the receiver over the single Category 6/6A cable, eliminating the need for a local power outlet at the receiver location.
• EDID Filtering — Prevents the source from attempting to transmit resolutions the destination display cannot support, reducing installation complications and blank-screen issues.
• Clock Stretching — Compensates for non-standard HDMI timing from problematic sources, providing more stable and reliable connections.
• HDBaseT Link Test — Front-panel test function verifies cable termination, signal integrity, and link quality, speeding up installation troubleshooting.
• HDCP 2.2 Compliant — Passes HDCP 2.2 protected content through the HDBaseT link without signal interruption.
• Multi-Channel Audio Pass-Through — Transparently passes PCM 2.0, LPCM 5.1/7.1, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS Digital Surround, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS:X.
• CEC Pass-Through — Forwards CEC commands over the HDBaseT link for basic display control without a separate control cable.
• Compact Mountable Enclosures — Both transmitter and receiver fit in furniture, behind displays, above projectors, or in a rack shelf using the optional AT-RACK-1RU-ME.
• Front-Panel Status LEDs — Power, Link, and Test LED indicators provide immediate visual feedback during installation and troubleshooting.
• Field-Updatable Firmware — Front-panel USB port on both transmitter and receiver enables firmware updates without removing units from the installation.

Typical Applications

• Conference room HDMI extension from a credenza or table connection point to a front-of-room flat panel display
• Boardroom AV installations routing 4K content from a room PC or laptop to ceiling-mounted or wall-mounted displays
• Training room setups extending instructor sources to projectors or displays at distances beyond standard HDMI reach
• Huddle room deployments where source and display are separated and local power at the display is unavailable
• Commercial meeting space installations requiring a cost-effective 4K HDBaseT extension solution
• Multi-purpose room AV where flexible, easy-to-install extension hardware is required
• Government space AV with NDAA-889 and TAA compliance requirements

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What cable type is required for 4K/UHD extension at 130 feet?

Category 6 or 6A cable is required to achieve the maximum 4K/UHD extension distance of 130 feet (40 meters). CAT5e cable limits 4K/UHD extension to 115 feet (35 meters). All cable runs should be point-to-point with no patch panels or keystone jacks between transmitter and receiver.

Q: Does the 4K/UHD signal maintain 4:4:4 chroma subsampling over HDBaseT?

No. At 4K/UHD 50 or 60 Hz, the HDBaseT link carries the signal at 4:2:0 chroma subsampling. At lower 4K frame rates (24/25/30 Hz) and at 1080p, higher chroma subsampling is supported. This is standard behavior for HDBaseT 4K transmission at 60 Hz.

Q: How does remote power benefit the installation?

Remote power eliminates the need to run AC power to the receiver location. The transmitter, which is typically located near the source and has access to AC power, supplies DC power to the receiver over the same Category cable used for signal. This simplifies installation above ceilings, behind displays, and above projectors.

Q: What does the HDBaseT link test function verify?

The integrated link test verifies cable continuity, termination quality, and HDBaseT link integrity. It provides a multi-colored LED indicator result that indicates whether the installation is pass, marginal, or fail — allowing installers to confirm cable quality before commissioning.

Q: What audio formats are passed through the AT-AVA-EX70-KIT?

The kit passes all standard HDMI audio formats including PCM 2.0, LPCM 5.1 and 7.1, Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Atmos, DTS Digital Surround, DTS-HD Master Audio, and DTS:X. Audio is passed through transparently without decoding or processing at the extender level.

Q: Is the AT-AVA-EX70-KIT NDAA and TAA compliant?

Yes. The AT-AVA-EX70-KIT carries both NDAA Section 889 and TAA compliance, making it suitable for U.S. federal government and defense-related AV installations.

Q: Where can I purchase the Atlona AT-AVA-EX70-KIT?

The AT-AVA-EX70-KIT is available at Creation Networks, an authorized Atlona reseller specializing in commercial and professional AV equipment.
