The Pulse-Eight HDBT3 L-TRX is an innovative HDMI over HDBaseT3 transceiver designed to revolutionize professional AV installations. With superior performance, seamless integration and versatile features, the HDBT3 L-TRX is the definitive HDMI over HDBaseT3 solution, making it the ideal choice for those looking for reliable and efficient video and IR signal transmission.

As a transceiver, it can operate as both an HDMI transmitter and receiver, providing great versatility in system design. It can be used in point-to-point configurations or as part of a video distribution system, with bi-directional IR control and full HDMI-CEC support. When set to transmitter mode, the HDMI output mirrors the input signal, allowing you to connect a secondary display without the need for additional splitters. This feature is ideal for monitoring, presentations and other applications that require real-time preview.

Designed to simplify your AV connection, the HDBT3 L-TRX ensures exceptional video quality. It supports HDMI 2.0 with 18 Gbps bandwidth and a maximum resolution of 4K @ 60 Hz 4:4:4, ensuring crystal-clear images without compression. Unlike other compression-based solutions, HDBT3 L-TRX preserves signal integrity, also supporting HDR and DolbyVision formats. The kit, consisting of two units, allows transmission up to 40 meters in 4K.

Installation of HDBT3 L-TRX is easy thanks to the support of PoH (Power over HDBaseT) and automatic power management, reducing the use of external power supplies and simplifying cable management. Compatible with CAT6A and above, it ensures economical and efficient long-distance HDMI transmission.

HDBT3 L-TRX is equipped with standard encryption, with support for HDCP 1.4, 2.2 and 2.3 for secure content transmission. LED indicators provide immediate feedback on the system status, making monitoring and troubleshooting easier.
