DVIGear has introduced the DVI-7365, a 4K Multiport Optical Extender that supports 4K (UHD) at 60Hz (4:4:4). The DVI-7365 Extenders support HDMI 4K /60p, embedded audio, bidirectional IR, RS 232 and two 10/100 BaseT Ethernet ports. Resolutions up to 4096×2160 /60p (4:4:4) are realized without using any compression. These extenders provide long-distance extension over a single fiber cable, up to 1.86 miles (~ 3,000 meters) using single-mode fiber, or 1,000 ft. (~ 300 meters) using OM3 multi-mode fiber. For added versatility, these units provide Advanced EDID Management with four operating modes: Pass-through, Learn 1, Learn 2, and Factory Default.

Each extender set consists of an optical transmitter unit and an optical receiver unit. The transmitter converts the AV signals into light pulses for transmission over a single strand of Multi‑Mode or Single-Mode fiber optic cable. The receiver converts the light pulses back to AV signals for the display, as well as other downstream devices. By using advanced fiber optic technology, without any compression, this product provides superior picture quality over greater distances than other extension methods, such as copper cables or CAT-X extenders. Moreover, optical fiber transmission is immune to environmental signal noise, thus providing a low RFI / EMI profile for sensitive applications where security is an important concern.

The DVI-7365 Extender is available now, lists for $1140.00 per set and specs are here.
