Product Overview
What the HDIT-101 and HDIR-101 deliver
The HDIT-101 and HDIR-101 extender set transmits HDMI and IR signals over standard Cat6 cabling instead of traditional HDMI cables. This significantly increases the transmission distance while maintaining stable signal performance, making it a practical solution for installations where source and display equipment are physically separated.
With support for HDMI resolutions up to 1080P, the extender ensures high-definition video quality suitable for professional display environments. The system operates in both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint configurations, offering flexible deployment options for a variety of AV installations.
In addition to HDMI video, the extender supports IR signal extension. This allows remote control commands to be sent from the display location back to the source device, enabling operators to control media players, set-top boxes, or other HDMI source devices even when that equipment is installed in a separate room or equipment rack.
The system can be expanded beyond the base 120-metre distance by placing standard 10/100 Ethernet switches after every 120 metres. This scalability makes the extender suitable for large commercial installations and distributed AV environments where standard network cabling infrastructure is already in place.

- Transmitter connects to HDMI source, receiver connects to display
Installation
Point-to-point or point-to-multipoint
The HDIT-101 and HDIR-101 support two installation configurations, from a simple direct two-unit connection to an expanded multi-receiver network using a standard Ethernet switch.
01
Point-to-Point Configuration
In a point-to-point setup, one HDIT-101 transmitter is connected directly to one HDIR-101 receiver using a single Cat6 cable. The transmitter connects to the HDMI source device while the receiver connects to the display. This configuration is suitable for standard HDMI extension applications where a single display needs to be connected to a single source over distances up to 120 metres.
02
Point-to-Multipoint Distribution
For environments requiring the same video content on multiple displays, the system supports point-to-multipoint distribution when used with a standard 10/100 Ethernet switch. A single HDIT-101 transmitter distributes the HDMI signal to multiple HDIR-101 receivers across the network. This is especially useful in digital signage deployments or environments where the same video content must appear across several screens simultaneously.
Point-to-Point Configuration
Where the HDIT-101 and HDIR-101 perform
Designed for professional environments where stable long-distance HDMI distribution and remote IR control are required across a range of AV installations.
Digital Signage Networks
Distribute video content from a central source to multiple displays in retail stores, airports, or public venues. The point-to-multipoint configuration allows one source to drive several HDIR-101 receivers simultaneously across a structured Cat6 network.
Conference Rooms
Extend HDMI sources from central AV racks to displays installed in meeting rooms. IR extension allows presenters to control the source equipment from within the conference room without physical access to the rack.
Educational Institutions
Transmit video signals from central media equipment to classrooms or lecture halls without running long HDMI cables. Teachers can control the source device using an IR remote from within the classroom even when the source is located in a separate media room.
Control Rooms
Deliver video feeds from equipment rooms to monitoring displays located in control centres. The extender allows source equipment to remain in a secured or centralised location while operators view and interact with feeds at their monitoring stations.
Hospitality and Hotel Installations
Distribute HDMI content from a central head-end to individual rooms or common areas. The IR extension capability allows guests or staff to operate the source device remotely without requiring separate equipment at each display point.
AV Rack Installations
Centralise source equipment in AV racks or equipment cabinets while distributing HDMI output to displays installed across different areas of a facility. IR extension ensures that operators can send remote control commands back to the rack-mounted source device from any connected display location.
