Atlona debuts 8-input 4K/UHD AT-UHD-CAT-8 HDMI-to-HDBaseT distribution amp

Atlona has launched an eight-output 4K/UHD distribution amplifier that features HDMI-to-HDBaseT distribution of 4K/UHD at 60 Hz/4:2:0 video, HDBaseT transmission up to 70 meters, HDCP 2.2 support, and Power over Ethernet (PoE). Distribution is via RGB Communications.

The AT-UHD-CAT-8 also provides EDID management and advanced display control functions through Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) for use with home TVs.

“This new eight-channel DA manages long distance distribution of protected 4K/UHD content and enables full control of remote displays without a separate control system,” said Joshua Castro, Atlona product manager. “These features, and PoE to power remote HDBaseT receivers, greatly simplify installation and improve system reliability. Having CEC means the DA’s remote control features will work with many of the latest digital TVs now available.”
