AVPro Edge continues to bolster its portfolio of 8K products with the addition of the new fiber optic extender kit: an HDMI 2.1 extender utilizing multi-mode fiber to transport 8K signals as far away from the transmitter as 300 meters over OM4, all at the speed of light.
AVPro Edge engineers pursued the only path capable of delivering the results required: multi-mode fiber optic cabling. OM2, OM3, and OM4 multi-mode versions may all be used – however, distance capabilities will vary significantly. OM2 enables a 40Gbps, 8K/60Hz 4:2:0 signal at a transfer distance of up to 40 meters. OM3 grants this same signal a transfer distance of up to 200 meters. The distance champ for this signal is OM4 at a remarkable 300 meters. Keep in mind – this is 8K!
Correct cables into the transmitter and out of the receiver are essential to the trouble-free extension of 8K signals. Please note the following:
Designed around an AVPro Edge perfectionist-engineered HDMI 2.1 fiber interface module, the AC-EXO-KIT features a hyper-precise, beam-focusing lens assembly which assists in preventing refraction and downline light scatter. A custom-crafted AVPro Edge Link Training algorithm, incorporating forward error correction analysis, monitors Fixed Rate Link status to maintain original signal bandwidth and serves to restrain Link Training forced bandwidth reductions. Every aspect of image fidelity, completely faithful to the original source material, is retained unaltered.
Traditional AVPro Edge extender features such as comprehensive EDID management, Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+ and HLG support plus RS-232 / IR bi-directional pass-through are included. The AC-EXO-Kit includes dual-HDMI outputs, with HDMI Output 2 performing downscaling including auto-sensing.
The extender kit may be used with all classifications of multi-mode fiber. Total distance varies per classification. Using a 40Gbps, 8K/60Hz 4:2:0 signal, the following distances have been confirmed: OM2 / 40 meters, OM3 / 200 meters, OM4 / 300 meters.
HDMI signals may be extended up to 300 meters using OM4 multi-mode fiber, safely delivering content with zero loss of fidelity in the most challenging installations.
Auto Low Latency, Variable Refresh Rate, HDR10 and Dynamic HDR formats including Dolby Vision, HDR10+ and HLG, Quick Frame Transport and Source Based Tone Mapping. 8K/60 4:2:0, High Frame Rate 4K/120fps capability.
Latency is less than 8 microseconds, measurable but visually imperceptible.
Dual HDMI Output: The extender kit receiver features two HDMI outputs, with HDMI 1 full-bandwidth passthrough and HDMI 2 an always scaled output. Scaling can be selected to be 8K to 4K, 8K to 1080p, and 4K to 1080p.
Today’s leading-edge NextGen systems must now contend with mixed resolutions of 8K, 4K and, in application-specific circumstances, legacy HD displays, with the potential for EDID conflicts. The AC-EXO-KIT is equipped with a robust EDID management system that enables juggling video resolutions and audio codec combinations for EDIDs that provide a congenial match for reliable system operation.
An EDID Copy function allows for acute copying and saving of known working EDIDs, for stable kit operation and HDCP repeatability.
Where required, the transmitter can generate a 1080p or 4K test pattern to aid with fiber verification, connected device configuration settings, or source viability.
Configurable, bidirectional management for IR & RS-232 signals provides a carefully nuanced added plus to the AC-EXO-KIT, consolidating wiring to a solitary pull and mitigating the use of supplemental devices for a clean, efficient installation. Simplified control requirements can take advantage of the AC-EXO-KIT’s I-PASS, forwarding commands directly from a control system IR-out port into the TX unit I-PASS input, proceeding to the receiving end and routing directly from the RX unit’s IR-out into the display’s IR input jack (if equipped) or through an attached supplied IR emitter. ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection adds a welcomed layer of defense for all connected products.
