Roland has added the HT-TX01 HDBaseT Transmitter and HT-RX01 HDBaseT Receiver to its professional video product lineup, capable of convert HDBaseT signals to/from HDMI.
Designed to transmit or receive audio, video and RS232 control information up to 100m over Cat5/6e cable, the TX/RX pair is for extending HDMI signals over long distances in both live productions and fixed applications. The HT-RX01 provides a receiver for an HDBaseT output coming from any Roland XS Series multi-format matrix switcher – a series designed for fixed installations requiring high-quality integrated video and audio conversion and switching. The RS232 signal transmission function of the XS series allows transmission of RS232 signals from the XS Series unit, along with video and audio signals, to a receiving device. The cable (included) allows the RS232 signal to be broken out at the receiver end to connect to the destination device.
These HDBaseT units are HDCP compliant and support signals up to 1080p as well as WUXGA over HDMI to connect video cameras, computers, Blu-ray decks, switchers and other sources to LCD monitors, projectors, video switchers, and other display devices up to 330-ft away. The HT-RX01 and HT-TX01 are able to extend audio/video signals over large spaces in applications such as universities, auditoriums, conference halls and corporate venues.
