Bidirectional Remote Power
AT-AVA-EX70C-BP-KIT
The Atlona AT-AVA-EX70C-BP-KIT is an Avance™ Series HDBaseT transmitter and receiver
set that supports control pass-through and bidirectional remote power capabilities. The kit
transmits 4K/UHD 60Hz 4:2:0 video up to 130 feet (40 meters) or 1080P 60Hz video up to 230
feet (70 meters). In addition to video with embedded multi-channel audio, RS-232 and IR control
signals, and remote powering by either the transmitter or the receiver are supported on the
single CAT6A/7 cable. Integrated HDBaseT link status testing allows quick verication of cable,
termination, and link quality. HDMI clock stretching and EDID ltering are included to ensure
the integrity of video transmission as well as compatibility with the widest array of sources and
display devices. ARC is available on the HDMI connections to minimize cabling in audio return
applications. Compact enclosures and included brackets allow the transmitter and receiver
endpoints to be surface mounted in furniture or behind a display. The AT-AVA-EX70C-BP-KIT
delivers a cost-eective solution for extension of video, audio, control, and bidirectional power at
resolutions up to 4K/UHD.
