It supports HDMI 1.4 and HDCP 1.4 compatibility and uses M-JPEG processing to keep compression artifacts minimal while delivering widely supported video formats from 480i up to 1080p@60Hz. The transmitter also offers a local HDMI loop output so you can monitor the source at the sending site without affecting the distributed signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow far can I run my HDMI signal with this extender?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit reaches up to 165 feet (about 50 meters) over a single Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat7 cable while maintaining 1080p at 60Hz. Actual distance may vary with cable quality, interference and resolution. For best results, use solid-core, shielded cable in environments with electrical noise.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaximum tested range: 165 feet \/ 50 meters\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompatible cable: Cat5e, Cat6, Cat7 (solid-core recommended)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eResilient to common interference when using shielded cable\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it keep picture quality and what resolutions are supported?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOREI’s extender supports a broad set of HDMI resolutions from standard definition up to full HD 1080p at 60Hz with minimal visible compression thanks to its M-JPEG processing. It is HDMI 1.4 and HDCP 1.4 compliant, so most Blu-ray players, game consoles and media boxes are supported. It does not upconvert to 4K — it preserves and transmits supported source resolutions up to 1080p.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupported formats: 480i\/p, 576i\/p, 720p, 1080i, 1080p (50\/60Hz)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression method: M-JPEG for low visual loss\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHDMI\/HDCP compliance: HDMI 1.4, HDCP 1.4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does the IR pass-through and HDMI loop output help my setup?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one-way IR pass-through allows remote control commands from the receiver end to reach your source device at the transmitter location, so you can change channels or control playback without walking to the source. The transmitter’s HDMI loop output provides a local display for monitoring or local viewing while the receiver sends the same feed down the cable. These features simplify multi-room or concealed-source installations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIR pass-through: control source devices from the remote display area\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHDMI loop-out: local monitor at transmitter without extra splitter\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOne-way IR: designed for remote-to-source control (receiver → transmitter)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat about installation and power — is it complicated?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation is straightforward: connect the source to the transmitter HDMI input, run a single Cat cable to the receiver, then connect the receiver to the display. The extender supports power over cable to simplify cabling in many layouts, but check included adapter details for your configuration.
