Link Bridge 5Play HDBaseT HDMI/VGA Scaling Transmitter & HDBaseT Lite Receiver Kit (197')

Link Bridge's HDMI/VGA HDBaseT Transmitter and Scaler can be easily integrated into an existing HDBaseT or HDMI setup. Inputs on this unit include HDMI and VGA video along with analog stereo audio. Bidirectional connections for LAN and RS232 machine/IR control are also offered. Incoming VGA signals can be scaled in order to fit the HD video stream using the OSD menu system. Since the signal is uncompressed, there is no quality difference from the input to the output. Other image controls offered include contrast, brightness, hue,saturation, sharpness, RGB level, and scan size. Resolutions up to 1920 x 1200 (WUXGA) are supported. This is a 5Play device, which means it can carry HDMI, LAN, IR, RS232, and up to 100W of power over 328' using a single HDBaseT twisted-pair interface.

Link Bridge's compact 4Play HDBaseT Receiver makes it simple to integrate unidirectional video with up to DCI 4K resolution (4096 x 2160) and audio, as well as bidirectional control and power over the same HDBaseT interface. Using this receiver with a compatible 4Play HDBaseT transmitter allows you to send all four aspects of the 4Play designation over 196' using a single twisted pair Cat5e/6 cable without any quality loss, as there is no conversion or processing of the signals. Since power is also transmitted, only the transmitter or the receiver needs to be connected to mains power; the other will be powered over the HDBaseT connection.

A simple setup would involve sending an HDMI A/V signal from the transmitter near the A/V equipment to the connected receiver near a projector or monitor. Using the control connections and IR capabilities, control of the A/V equipment can still be maintained. The actual unit is compact and unobtrusive for use in A/V closets or presentation rooms.
