Connecting an HDMI device to a monitor positioned several tens of meters away may not be such an easy task.To facilitate everything, the new TECHly HDMI Real Time Extender, with a range of 120 meters in real timeTECHly HDMI Extenders are small devices capable of extending the HDMI signal beyond the physical capabilities of the appropriate cables, using Ethernet cables as an alternative.But why use such a system?The answer is simple: HDMI is a popular standard for connecting audio-video devices, but it is limited in scope.If you need a few meters of cable in a typical installation, in a professional installation, or to connect a display several tens of meters from the source, HDMI cable restrictions can be a problem.After all, a long HDMI cable can be very expensive, and it would still reach no more than 30 meters.If you need a greater range without wanting to spend a fortune, then, a good advice is to rely on TECHly's HDMI Extenders, which we tested in one of the latest variants marketed.The Real Time HDMI Extender on Cat.6 cable up to 120 meters does everything we have described, expanding the range up to a maximum distance of 120 meters.This means that we can cover a very long distance by connecting the monitor and source through HDMI technology, but by exploiting the physical capabilities of Ethernet cables.In addition, the new model allows a Real Time transmission, with the reproduction of the signal that occurs in real time, without latency and without compression, while maintaining the quality of the original signal.The HDMI Extender consists of two devices, one to be connected via HDMI to the source (Sender), the other to be connected - again via HDMI - to the display (Receiver) with which we intend to reproduce the contents.The two devices must then be connected to each other through an Ethernet cable up to a maximum of 120 meters long.In this way you can take advantage of the network connection standard to send an HDMI signal over distances greater than those guaranteed by the technology, without degrading the quality of the images.Transmitter and receiver need an external power supply system for correct operation (already available in the original equipment, from 5V and 1A), while Ethernet and HDMI cables are to be purchased separately.The system works to its full potential with Cat. 6 Ethernet cables and with the IR pass-back function you can remotely control the signal source from the position of the receiver.This is obviously essential if we consider the distances at which the source and receiver can be: if for example we want to connect the PC in the living room to a display in the garage it would be practically impossible to manage the first in the position of the second, and the IR pass-back functionality natively supported by the two boxes eliminates the problem in the bud.The system supports a maximum video band of 10.2 Gbps, with a maximum resolution of Full HD at 60Hz.The TECHly system can also be used with cables less advanced than Cat. 6, however the range naturally decreases: with Cat. 5e cables a transmission distance without loss of quality is guaranteed up to 100 meters, while with Cat. 5 cables it is reaches a maximum of 80 meters.The system is capable of self-adjusting according to the inserted cable, without requiring any user interaction.As with other similar TECHly products, not even the new HDMI Extender with 120m range (IDATA EXT-E71) can be connected to a network, since it does not use an IP address and the connection takes place without using any protocol to connect with other devices. .The HDMI Extender of TECHly IDATA EXT-E71) is an interesting solution also due to the particularly low price at which it is sold: on ManhattanShop it is offered at a price of € 130.39, a figure literally unthinkable if we wanted to make an HDMI connection capable of covering such high distances (you can buy the product at this address).In the original equipment we also find the IR receiver and transmitter, as well as a user manual which in any case has relative utility given the ease of assembly and configuration of the entire system.
