The Binary™ 1COAX extender gives you the ability to send HDMI and IR control signals over the existing coax infrastructure. This system is completely resistant to EMI and ESD while delivering 1080p high definition up to 400 feet away. Existing analog TV installations with coaxial cable can now be easily retrofitted to HDMI distribution systems using the B-400-1COAX-HDIR. High-def HDMI signals are delivered up to 400' at full 1080p 60Hz resolution.* At up to 3X the distance, this extender is the ideal problem solver for long-distance residential and commercial HDMI applications. Under the hood of the B-400-1COAX-HDIR is an engineer’s paradise! These surface-mount, high speed circuits are built on a multi-layer board to give you an “over coax” solution that is specifically designed for custom install applications. Sure you have a number of supplier choices when it comes to HDMI products – but do they offer full HDCP compliance, EDID learning, bi-directional IR, and locking power connectors? "Engineered by SnapAV" – it’s not just a saying, it’s what we do. In some applications, conventional unshielded twisted pair can be susceptible to interference from fans, microwaves and other devices that emit RF noise. Coaxial wire is fully shielded with a metal braid and foil so it is more resistant to EMI. During development, every connection was tortured with an ESD gun and a lightning simulator. They were hit with ESD at 15KV and surges up to 2500V. More important, though, they each lived to tell about it! Over the same coax wire, you can easily control DVD players, cable boxes and other source equipment from the TV location. If an automation or remote system is being used, an adapter cable is included to allow control of the TV from the equipment at the head-end. For best performance, use our Episode® IR flashers and receivers. A bi-color status LED on the TX and RX units indicate if the unit is receiving power and signal - great for troubleshooting! We've even included a locking power connector to secure power to the unit. No more worries about the customer calling because the power came unplugged! An EDID learning mode ensures the TV and source will always be in sync and operating at the highest resolution.
