Atlona Avance UHD 4K HDMI Transmitter and Receiver Kit with Control and and Bidirectional Remote Power - AT-AVA-EX70C-BP-KIT

Product Overview

The Atlona AT-AVA-EX70C-BP-KIT is an Avance Series HDBaseT extender kit engineered for commercial AV installations requiring 4K/UHD signal extension with integrated RS-232 and IR control pass-through. This HDBaseT transmitter and receiver kit extends 4K/UHD 60 Hz 4:2:0 video up to 130 feet (40 meters) over a single CAT6/6A cable, making it a practical solution for boardroom AV extension, conference room HDMI extender deployments, and commercial display installations where bidirectional remote power simplifies infrastructure. The AT-AVA-EX70C-BP-KIT supports HDCP 2.2, Audio Return Channel (ARC), EDID filtering, and clock stretching for reliable 4K video distribution in corporate and education environments.

Product Description

The Atlona AT-AVA-EX70C-BP-KIT is a complete HDBaseT extender kit from the Avance Series, designed to extend 4K/UHD 60 Hz 4:2:0 video up to 130 feet (40 meters) or 1080p 60 Hz video up to 230 feet (70 meters) over a single Category 6/6A cable. The kit includes both transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX) endpoints, enabling clean, cost-effective deployment without additional switching or amplification hardware. A key differentiator of the BP-KIT variant is its bidirectional remote power capability: either the transmitter or the receiver can supply power to the other unit over HDBaseT, offering significant installation flexibility in applications where AC power is available only at one end of the cable run. RS-232 and IR control signals are extended bidirectionally alongside the video and audio, enabling full device control from either end of the installation. The Audio Return Channel (ARC) on both HDMI connections minimizes cabling in applications requiring audio return from a display to an audio system. EDID filtering prevents transmission of unsupported resolutions to the source device, maintaining signal integrity, while clock stretching ensures stable connections with challenging HDMI sources. An integrated HDBaseT link test function allows installers to quickly verify cable quality, termination, and link performance on-site. The compact enclosures include surface mounting brackets for installation in furniture, behind displays, or above projectors, and are compatible with the optional AT-RACK-1RU-ME multi-extender rack mount shelf. This kit is HDCP 2.2 compliant and supports the full range of PCM, Dolby, and DTS multi-channel audio formats.

Key Features

• Bidirectional Remote Power — Either the transmitter or receiver can power the other unit over HDBaseT, reducing AC outlet requirements at the installation site.
• 4K/UHD 60 Hz Extension — Extends 4K/UHD 60 Hz 4:2:0 up to 130 feet (40 meters) and 1080p 60 Hz up to 230 feet (70 meters) over CAT6/6A.
• RS-232 and IR Control Pass-Through — Bidirectional RS-232 (up to 115200 baud) and IR (30–60 kHz) control signals are extended over the same HDBaseT link.
• Audio Return Channel (ARC) — ARC on both HDMI connections minimizes cabling in audio return applications.
• EDID Filtering and Clock Stretching — Prevents unsupported resolution negotiation and improves connection stability with problematic HDMI sources.
• HDBaseT Link Test — Front panel test function verifies cable, termination, and link quality for faster commissioning.
• HDCP 2.2 Compliance — Supports the latest content protection specification for passing protected 4K content.
• Multi-Channel Audio Support — Passes PCM 2.0, LPCM 5.1/7.1, Dolby Atmos, Dolby TrueHD, DTS:X, and DTS-HD Master Audio formats.
• Compact Surface-Mount Enclosures — Includes wall and table mounting brackets; compatible with optional AT-RACK-1RU-ME rack mount shelf.
• Front Panel Firmware Update Port — Micro-USB port on both TX and RX for straightforward firmware updates in the field.

Technical Specifications

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is the difference between the AT-AVA-EX70C-BP-KIT and the AT-AVA-EX70C-KIT?

The BP-KIT supports bidirectional remote power, meaning either the transmitter or the receiver can supply power to the other unit over the HDBaseT link. The standard AT-AVA-EX70C-KIT provides unidirectional remote power only — the transmitter powers the receiver. The BP-KIT is the preferred choice when AC power is only available at the display end of the cable run.

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

Atlona recommends Category 6 or Category 6A cable for 4K/UHD 60 Hz 4:2:0 extension up to 130 feet (40 meters). CAT5e is supported up to 115 feet (35 meters) at 4K. For 1080p, CAT6/6A supports up to 230 feet (70 meters).

Q: Does this kit support HDR content?

The AT-AVA-EX70C-BP-KIT is designed for 4K/UHD 60 Hz 4:2:0 at up to 10-bit and 12-bit color depth, but it does not carry the HDR designation found in Atlona's HDR-series extenders. Verify HDR metadata pass-through requirements with the source and display prior to specification.

Q: Can the AT-AVA-EX70C-BP-KIT be rack-mounted?

Yes. Both the transmitter and receiver can be installed in the optional AT-RACK-1RU-ME multi-extender rack mount shelf, which accommodates multiple Avance Series units in a single rack unit.

Q: How is the HDBaseT link test performed?

Press the TEST button on the front panel of either endpoint to initiate a link test. The multi-colored Test LED indicates cable quality and link status, allowing installers to verify installation quality without additional test equipment.

Q: What control protocols are supported?

The kit passes RS-232 (up to 115200 baud), IR (30–60 kHz), and CEC control signals bidirectionally over the HDBaseT link, enabling full device control from either end of the cable run.

Q: Is the AT-AVA-EX70C-BP-KIT compatible with Atlona's Velocity control system?

The RS-232 and IR pass-through on the AT-AVA-EX70C-BP-KIT are compatible with Atlona Velocity and other third-party control systems that use RS-232 or IR for device control. Direct IP control of the extender units themselves is not supported on this model.
