MuxLab 500733 6G-SDI Extender Over UTP with Ethernet

The 6G-SDI Extender over UTP is a unique solution from MuxLab for extending SDI cameras or other SDI sources up to 4K resolution at up to 330ft (100m) using standard Cat5e/6 UTP cable. This multichannel extender supports up to 6Gbps of data throughput over the UTP link and allows for versatile combinations of sources, including one 6G-SDI source, two 3G-SDI sources or four HD-SDI sources, plus transmission of two Ethernet signals which may be used as return channels, and a bi-directional RS232 pass-through. The Ethernet port of the 500733 can be used for AV monitoring and talk-back, while the RS232 pass-through supports return of tally light, camera control unit (CCU) and control of end devices.
