Hall Research's Model UH2D-3S is a member of the Mini-CAT video extension and distribution product line. The UH2D-3S is used to extend HDMI or DVI video up to 170 ft @ 1080i/720p or 130 ft @ 1080p resolution on 2 Cat6 cables to 3 remote receivers (Model UH2D-R). The unit provides one local HDMI output and 3 sets of RJ45 pairs for connection to the remote receivers. Cables that are of lower quality and construction will reduce the maximum distance.</p><p>The UH-2D-3S is compatible with HDMITM versions 1.2a, 1.3 and 1.4 in terms of 3D, deep- color, and 4K video support. The remote receiver (UH-2D-R) includes state of the art automatic equalization to compensate for signal losses in the cables and produces a crisp image as clear as the original. This allows daisy-chaining (to achieve further extension), and produces a crisp image as clear as the original.</p><p>The unit is housed in a compact sturdy metal enclosure that is 1RU high. Two can be mounted side-by-side using Hall Research Model RMS-1U-1A rack shelf (UH-2D-3S has threaded holes on the bottom for this purpose), or a single unit can be mounted using the Model RMK-05 Rack Mount Kit. </p><p><strong>EDID Management</strong><br />The UH2D-3S uses and intelligent method to report the EDID to the source. Understanding how this done can help certain installations where the 4 outputs may be connected to different LCD's.<br />Since the unit supports HDMI with HDCP, priority is given to the outputs connected to HDTV rather than DVI LCD's. Though the unit can split a DVI source for 4 DVI LCD displays (with DVI to HDMI cables or adapters), it is not recommended to connect the input in that situation to an HDMI source such as a Blu-ray player, since the DVI LCD's will not support the video anyhow as most DVI LCD's are 4x3 format, do not support HDCP, and cannot handle embedded HDMI audio.</p><p><strong>Note: Front and back of Sender is pictured.
