1.0 Introduction
The UHBX-8X is an 8-Port HDMI extender that converts 8 inputs to
corresponding HDBaseT™ outputs for extension to 150 meters/500 ft on
single Cat6 cables. The extender supports HDCP, Deep Color, CEC, and 4K
(UHD) resolutions. Compatible receivers include the economical UH-1BT-R
for extension to 230 ft and the UH-1BTX-R for 330 ft (500 ft in Long Reach
mode). Other compatible receivers include the UHBX-R-PD which supports
RS-232, IR, and PoH so no power supply needed at the receiver. When using
receivers with PoH function, a single optional 48v power supply is needed for
the 8-channel sender (power supply part number: 511-PS4812).
The UHBX-8X provides both IP (Ethernet), and RS-232 ports for control. The
user can address and send RS-232 or IR commands to any of the receivers to
control the remote display. IR signals can also be extended in both directions.
The UHBX-8X can generate IR commands to send to remote TVs but it also
provides an IR detector input. The IR received by the detector can be routed to
any particular or combination of outputs. 8 separate IR emitter ports are
provided on the rear of the UHBX-8X The source of these signals would be IR
detectors at each remote location. This would be perfect for controlling
multiple sources in a rack remotely from where the TV’s are located
The extender is constructed as a 1RU rack-mountable unit and has built-in
power supply. LED indicators on the front panel show Link status, Video
status, Long Reach, and PoH Power for each of the 8 outputs. The UHBX-8X
is designed and manufactured in the USA.
