Tripp Lite BHDBT3-TRX2 – HDBaseT 3.0 4K 60Hz Transmitter and Receiver Kit, Cat6a

Product Overview

The Tripp Lite BHDBT3-TRX2 HDBaseT 3.0 Transmitter and Receiver Kit extends true 4K uncompressed video, audio, Ethernet, RS-232, USB, and IR control signals up to 328 feet (100 meters) over a single Cat6a cable, making it a complete AV signal distribution solution for conference halls, auditoriums, lecture halls, and large commercial spaces. Using the latest HDBaseT 3.0 standard with zero latency, the BHDBT3-TRX2 transmits Ultra HD resolutions up to 4096 x 2160 at 60 Hz with HDR support and 4:4:4 chroma subsampling. HDCP 2.3 compliance allows distribution of protected 4K content from streaming sources. The kit is TAA compliant for GSA Schedule procurement.

Product Description

The BHDBT3-TRX2 uses a single HDBaseT3-certified Cat6a cable to carry the full range of AV and control signals between the transmitter and receiver, eliminating the need for multiple dedicated cable runs. The HDBaseT 3.0 standard provides sufficient bandwidth for uncompressed 4K video at 60 Hz with no signal degradation, suitable for professional AV installations where image quality cannot be compromised by compression artifacts.

HDR (High Dynamic Range) support provides wider color range, higher contrast, brighter highlights, and deeper blacks for compatible 4K displays. Uncompressed 4:4:4 chroma subsampling preserves full color information at every pixel, which is important for PC graphics output, digital signage, and professional video monitoring applications. HDCP 2.3 encryption ensures compatibility with 4K protected content from streaming services and Blu-ray sources.

Beyond video, the BHDBT3-TRX2 extends bi-directional RS-232 serial control, full-range IR remote control pass-through, Gigabit Ethernet, and USB 2.0 over the same Cat6a cable run. RS-232 and IR allow control of source devices or displays from the far end without separate control cabling. USB 2.0 extension supports peripherals such as barcode scanners, HID devices, and other USB 2.0-compatible accessories at the receiver end.

An HDMI audio embedded/de-embedded function allows flexible audio handling, with audio bypass capability for installations requiring separate audio routing. Locking HDMI connectors on both the transmitter and receiver prevent accidental disconnection in professional installations where cable access is difficult. A fanless fin heat sink design provides passive cooling for reliable, silent operation in enclosed rack spaces and behind panels. Both units include built-in mounting brackets for wall installation. No software or drivers are required.
