Great Extender, for the Pro!
David from Helena, MT on 5/13/2023
This extender is a great find for someone who has a permanent, professional installation. I am speaking as a hobbyist, but I am also a professional; having worked in radio and television broadcasting, as an engineer. This device really does extend 4K@24/50/60hz, HDR10, and 1080p@120hz. It does also extend most surround sound formats, but NOT Dolby Atmos or DTSX. However, the "HDMI Out" port, on the transmitter, WILL pass through these two audio formats to your AV Receiver. A handy feature! Here is the tricky part... for the Pro... you HAVE to utilize the EDID switches, and you HAVE to have them set properly to accommodate your setup. The user manual is pretty vague about the actual functionality of these switches, but if you think about it from the standpoint of "signal flow", while looking at their chart, you should be able to figure out how to best set these switches. But, if you ARE having trouble, the folks at Crutchfield can and will help you. Also, from the standpoint of an electronics engineer: I totally love that this device functions on just 12 volts DC. (Most others run on 24 volts.) The lower voltage means less heat that is induced, thus meaning slower/lesser breakdown of components and/or device, for better, longer, functionality. Less heat spread to other devices too! This device has a warranty of 3 years. Impressive, for something in this category of consumer electronics! The "DETAILS" page, for this device, on cru
Pros: 12 volts DC, either end 3-year warranty 4K 60hz and 1080p 120hz Dolby ATMOS/DTSX compatible Good Price!
Cons: Not for novice or beginner.
