HDBaseT Receiver with Integrated Control and Ethernet Extension
The Atlona AT-HDRX-RSNET is a versatile HDBaseT Receiver (RX) unit designed to be paired with Atlona HDBaseT Distribution Amplifiers or Transmitters. Its primary function is to receive HDMI video, audio, and control signals sent over a single CAT5e/6/7 cable and output them to a display device.
Crucially, the AT-HDRX-RSNET supports Ethernet and RS-232 control signal pass-through. This allows A/V integrators to control the distant source device (via RS-232) or provide a network drop (via Ethernet) to the display location, simplifying complex installations. It can extend signals up to 100 meters (330 feet).
