Atlona® AT-HDR-CAT-8 4K HDR HDMI to HDBaseT Amplifier

Atlona 4K HDR HDMI to HDBaseT Amplifier

The Atlona AT-HDR-CAT is a high dynamic range (HDR) distribution amplifier with one HDMI® input and two HDBaseT™ outputs. Each output transmits 4K/UHD video @ 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling plus support for HDR formats, multi-channel audio, control signals, and power up to 130 ft. (40 m) or 1080p up to 230 ft. (70 m) over Category 6/6A cable. The HDR-CAT-2 features sophisticated integration capabilities designed for commercial AV distribution applications including HDMI pass-through, audio de-embedding, EDID management, CEC display control, RS-232 and IR control extension, remote power for receivers, and HDBaseT link testing. It is compatible with any TCP/IP or RS-232 control system and is housed in a low-profile enclosure with an external universal power supply. The HDR-CAT-2 is ideal for sending HDR and 4K/60 4:4:4 content to AT-HDR-EX-70C-RX receivers. The HDR-CAT is part of a family of 4K HDR HDMI to HDBaseT distribution amplifiers that includes the HDR-CAT-2 two output, HDR-CAT-4 four output, HDR-CAT-8 eight output, and HDR-CAT-4ED four output extended distance models.

Long Distance HDMI to HDBaseT Distribution

Send a single 4K HDR source to two displays at distances up to 130′ (40 m) for video distribution applications including hospitality and retail, commercial reception areas or warehouses, and educational AV systems that require multiple screens.

4K HDR Support

Provides 4K/UHD capability @ 60 Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling as well as HDR10, HLG, and Dolby® Vision™ HDR formats for very high, pristine image quality.

Sophisticated Integration Capabilities

Features and capabilities designed to ease integration in commercial AV distribution applications include HDMI pass-through, audio de-embedding, EDID management, CEC display control, RS-232 and IR control extension, remote power for receivers, and HDBaseT link testing.

HDMI Pass-Through for a Local Display

The HDR-CAT-2 accepts an HDMI source and routes it to two HDBaseT outputs which carry 4K HDR content to AT-HDR-EX-70C-RX receivers at distances of up to 130 feet (40 meters). The receiver then provides an HDMI output to its connected display. HDMI pass-through allows the signal to be sent to a local display.

Applications

• Hospitality and Retail – Ideal for hotel lobbies, malls, stores, and restaurants that need a long-distance signal extension of high-impact marketing content and program information.
• Commercial – Display company information on screens in reception areas or production and safety information on screens in the warehouse and manufacturing floor.
• Education – Complements lecture hall and auditorium AV systems by allowing presentation content to be distributed to repeater displays located throughout the space.
