Atlona Avance 4K/UHD extended distance HDMI Transmitter and Receiver Kit w/RS - AT-AVA-EX100CE-BP-KIT

Product Overview

The Atlona AT-AVA-EX100CE-BP-KIT is a 4K/UHD HDBaseT extender kit designed for conference rooms, classrooms, and commercial meeting spaces that require long-distance HDMI signal extension over a single category cable. This HDBaseT transmitter and receiver kit extends 4K/UHD 60Hz 4:2:0 video, bidirectional Ethernet, RS-232, IR control, and remote power up to 330 feet (100 meters) on CAT6/6A/7 cable. As a complete HDMI over HDBaseT extender kit with RS-232 and Ethernet pass-through, it delivers a cost-effective alternative to running multiple dedicated cables across large rooms or between floors. Integrators working with Atlona's Avance Series will appreciate the built-in EDID filtering, clock stretching, and HDBaseT link test that reduce commissioning time on commercial AV installations.

Product Description

The AT-AVA-EX100CE-BP-KIT includes both the transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) endpoints in compact enclosures that can be surface-mounted in furniture, behind a display, or above a ceiling-mounted projector. Power is supplied bidirectionally over the HDBaseT link, meaning the kit can be powered from either end — a practical advantage when AC access is limited at one location in a room. Embedded multi-channel audio, including PCM, Dolby Atmos, DTS:X, and all major surround formats, passes through the single CAT6/6A cable alongside video, Ethernet data, and control signals. EDID filtering prevents the source from advertising resolutions unsupported by the display, eliminating compatibility issues common in permanent installation environments. Clock stretching addresses stability problems with sources that have marginal HDMI timing, reducing signal handshake failures on mixed-brand systems. The integrated HDBaseT link test lets technicians verify cable quality and RJ45 termination directly from the front panel — an important commissioning tool when running new cable through walls or conduit. Audio Return Channel (ARC) on the HDMI connections allows a connected display to send audio back to a sound system without an additional cable run. The kit carries HDCP 2.2 compliance for passing the latest protected content between authenticated devices. TAA and NDAA Section 889 compliance make this product suitable for U.S. government and federally funded education deployments. Optional rack mounting is available using the AT-RACK-1RU-ME multi-extender shelf for installations that require a managed equipment rack.

Key Features

• 4K/UHD 60Hz Extension to 330 Feet — Transmits 4K/UHD 60Hz 4:2:0 video over a single CAT6/6A/7 cable at distances up to 100 meters (330 feet), or up to 295 feet with CAT5e.
• Bidirectional Remote Power (BP) — Either the transmitter or the receiver can power the opposite unit over the HDBaseT link, simplifying installation in spaces where local AC power is only accessible at one end.
• Bidirectional Ethernet Pass-Through — Extends 100Base-T Ethernet data in both directions over the same category cable, enabling network access at the display end without additional network drops.
• RS-232 and IR Control Pass-Through — Carries bidirectional RS-232 (up to 115200 baud) and IR control signals (30–60 kHz) alongside video for complete AV system control from a single cable.
• EDID Filtering — Prevents the source from receiving EDID data for resolutions the destination display cannot support, eliminating blank screens caused by resolution mismatches.
• Clock Stretching — Compensates for HDMI timing issues in problematic sources, establishing more stable signal connections in mixed-vendor installations.
• HDBaseT Link Test — Front-panel test button allows technicians to verify cable integrity, termination quality, and link performance without additional test equipment.
• Audio Return Channel (ARC) — Returns audio from the display back to a connected audio system over the HDMI connection, reducing cable requirements in rooms with integrated audio.
• HDCP 2.2 Compliant — Supports the current HDCP specification, ensuring pass-through of protected content between authenticated source and display devices.
• TAA and NDAA Section 889 Compliant — Meets Trade Agreements Act and National Defense Authorization Act requirements for government and federally funded installations.
• Compact Surface-Mount Enclosures — Both TX and RX units include mounting brackets for installation in furniture, behind displays, or above projectors; optional AT-RACK-1RU-ME shelf available for rack mounting.

Typical Applications

• Conference room HDMI over HDBaseT extension from table input to wall-mounted display
• Boardroom AV signal extension with RS-232 display control over a single category cable
• Training room 4K/UHD video distribution from instructor station to remote projector or flat panel
• Government space AV integration requiring TAA and NDAA-compliant extender hardware
• Commercial meeting space with long cable runs requiring Ethernet pass-through at the display location
• Multi-purpose room installations where either the source or display end has local power access

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What cable type is required to achieve 330-foot 4K/UHD transmission?

CAT6, CAT6A, or CAT7 shielded cable is required for 4K/UHD @ 60Hz 4:2:0 at the full 330-foot (100-meter) distance. CAT5e supports 4K/UHD up to 295 feet (90 meters) and 1080p up to 330 feet.

Q: Can the kit be powered from just one end?

Yes. The bidirectional remote power (BP) feature allows either the transmitter or the receiver to power the opposite unit over the HDBaseT cable, so a single AC connection at either end of the run is sufficient.

Q: Is the AT-AVA-EX100CE-BP-KIT compatible with HDCP 2.2 protected content?

Yes. Both the transmitter and receiver are HDCP 2.2 compliant, supporting pass-through of the latest protected content between authenticated source and display devices.

Q: Does this kit pass Ethernet in both directions?

Yes. 100Base-T Ethernet data passes bidirectionally through the HDBaseT link, providing a network connection at the display or projector location without a separate network drop.

Q: What control signal types are supported over the single category cable?

RS-232 (up to 115200 baud), IR (30–60 kHz), IP (Ethernet pass-through), and CEC are all carried over the single CAT6/6A cable alongside video and audio.

Q: Is the AT-AVA-EX100CE-BP-KIT approved for government installations?

Yes. The product carries both TAA (Trade Agreements Act) and NDAA Section 889 compliance, making it suitable for U.S. federal government and federally funded education deployments.

Q: What is the warranty on this product?

Atlona products carry a manufacturer's limited warranty. For full warranty terms, visit the Atlona warranty page. Creation Networks provides pre-sales support at creationnetworks.net.

Q: Can multiple extender units share a rack mount?

Yes. The optional AT-RACK-1RU-ME multi-extender rack mount shelf accommodates multiple Avance Series TX and RX units in a single rack unit for organized equipment rack installations.
