About the Atlona AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX 4K/UHD HDMI Over HDBaseT Receiver w/ Control and PoE
The Atlona AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX is a professional-grade receiver unit designed to operate as the endpoint in an HDBaseT extension system, specifically engineered to receive ultra-high-definition audiovisual signals, control data, and power over a single, long-distance Category cable. It is the companion component to an HDBaseT transmitter, working in tandem to extend uncompressed 4K/UHD HDMI video, multi-channel audio, and bidirectional control signals—such as IR, RS-232, and CEC—from a source device to a display located up to 100 meters (330 feet) away. This technology is critical for modern AV installations in corporate boardrooms, education facilities, and digital signage networks, where sources like media players and computers are often centralized in equipment racks far from the display locations, enabling clean, long-range signal distribution without signal degradation or the need for multiple, complex cable runs.
A key feature of this receiver is its support for Power over HDBaseT (PoH), which allows the unit itself to be powered directly from the connected HDBaseT transmitter over the same Cat cable that carries the AV signals. This eliminates the need for a separate power outlet at the display location, significantly simplifying installation and enabling a truly single-cable solution from the rack to the screen. Furthermore, the receiver includes an integrated HDMI output that can loop-through power and control to the connected display via HDMI-CEC, and it also offers a dedicated RS-232 port for advanced display control. Its compact, low-profile metal housing is designed for discreet placement behind flat-panel displays or within furniture, supporting a clean, professional installation aesthetic.
The device is built for reliability in commercial environments, supporting video resolutions up to 4K@60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma sampling, HDR10, and HDCP 2.2/2.3 compliance for protected content. It features automatic EDID management to ensure stable handshaking between source and display. By consolidating high-bandwidth video, audio, control, and power into one standardized cable, the AT-UHD-EX-100CE-RX provides integrators with a robust, future-proof, and incredibly tidy solution for distributing the highest quality AV content in demanding fixed installations, reducing installation time, cable clutter, and potential points of failure.
