AVPro Edge HDBaseT (CAT6) RECEIVER ONLY 10.2G, 40m 4K (70m HD) Slim Extender with I-Pass, Bi-Directional Power, RS232, IR.

Overview

The AVPro Edge HDBaseT Slim Receiver (CAT6) is a receiver-only unit designed to pair with a compatible HDBaseT transmitter in point-to-point HDMI extension deployments. It delivers 10.2 Gbps of bandwidth — sufficient for 4K60 4:2:0, HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision 30fps — over standard CAT6 cabling at distances up to 40 meters for 4K content and 70 meters for HD. The slim form factor keeps it unobtrusive at the display end, while I-Pass, bi-directional power, RS232, and IR control features support full AV system integration without additional control hardware.

This is a receiver-only product and does not include a power supply unit (PSU). It is intended for installations where a transmitter is already in place or where the integrator is specifying transmitter and receiver separately.

Description

HDBaseT technology transmits HDMI, power, control signals, and Ethernet over a single CAT6 cable, eliminating the need for separate runs of HDMI, RS232, IR, and power wiring to remote display locations. This receiver unit terminates that CAT6 run at the display end, converting the HDBaseT signal back to HDMI output along with IR and RS232 pass-through for display control.

Bi-directional power allows either the transmitter or receiver end to supply power over the HDBaseT link, giving installers flexibility in where they locate the power source. I-Pass connectivity supports integration with building automation and control systems that require signal presence detection or pass-through logic.

Key Features

• Receiver-only unit — pairs with any compatible AVPro Edge HDBaseT transmitter
• 10.2 Gbps bandwidth supports 4K60 4:2:0, HDR10, HLG, and Dolby Vision 30fps
• 40-meter 4K range and 70-meter HD range over a single CAT6 cable
• Bi-directional power delivery over HDBaseT — no separate power run to the display end required
• RS232 and IR pass-through for display control integration
• I-Pass for signal integration with control systems
• Slim form factor conceals easily behind displays or in wall cavities
• PSU not included — designed for use with existing power infrastructure

Typical Applications

• Adding a display drop to an existing HDBaseT transmitter installation without replacing the transmitter
• Conference rooms and huddle spaces requiring 4K signal delivery over existing CAT6 infrastructure
• Digital signage installations where receivers are distributed across multiple display locations from one transmitter
• Education and corporate AV systems with centralized transmitter racks and remote display endpoints
• Hotel guestrooms and hospitality AV where slim receiver form factor is essential behind wall-mounted displays
• Residential home theater and multi-room video distribution with RS232 display control

Technical Specs

Competitor Comparison

The AVPro Edge receiver stands out for its slim profile and bi-directional power delivery. The Kramer EXT3-U-R offers similar bandwidth but in a larger chassis without the slim design advantage. The Atlona HDR-EX-70C-RX provides 18 Gbps and longer 4K range but lacks bi-directional power, which can complicate installations where the power source must be located at the transmitter end.

FAQ

Is a PSU included with this receiver?

No. This is a receiver-only unit and does not include a power supply. Power is delivered via the HDBaseT link from a compatible transmitter, or you can add a local PSU at the receiver end if preferred. Confirm PSU compatibility with AVPro Edge before ordering.

Which AVPro Edge transmitter is compatible with this receiver?

This receiver is designed to pair with AVPro Edge HDBaseT transmitters in the same product family operating at 10.2 Gbps bandwidth. Contact Creation Networks to confirm transmitter-receiver compatibility for your specific installation.

Can I use CAT5e instead of CAT6?

CAT6 is recommended for the rated distances. CAT5e may work at reduced distances or at lower resolutions, but AVPro Edge specifies CAT6 for full 4K performance at 40 meters. Use of CAT5e is at the installer's risk and may void distance guarantees.

Does this unit support HDCP 2.2?

Yes. The 10.2 Gbps bandwidth and HDBaseT implementation support HDCP 2.2 content protection, which is required for 4K UHD content from streaming devices and Blu-ray players.

How does bi-directional power work in practice?

The HDBaseT link can carry DC power in either direction over the CAT6 cable. This means a PSU at the transmitter end can power the receiver (PoH — Power over HDBaseT), or a PSU at the receiver end can power the transmitter. This eliminates the need for a local power outlet at whichever end lacks convenient access.
