Link Bridge's 5-Play HDBaseT Receiver makes it simple to integrate unidirectional video and audio as well as bidirectional control, LAN, and power over the same HDBaseT interface. Using this receiver with a compatible 5-Play HDBaseT transmitter allows you to send all five aspects of the 5-Play designation over 328' 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, either 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. An Ethernet signal can be passed using the available LAN connection for accessing critical content, or for a computer network connection.
