WyreStorm Adds 4K and Serial to HDBaseT Extender Set

WyreStorm has given its EX-70-G2 entry level HDBaseT extender a spec boost to now include support for 4K UHD and RS232 control. This also makes WyreStorm’s EX-70-G2 extender model HDCP 2.2 compliant for point-to-point HDMI extension with enhanced control options, like CEC.

Class B HDBaseT handles the delivery of 3840x2160p at 30Hz 8bit 4:4:4 or both 3840x2160p and 4096x2160p at 60Hz 8-bit 4:2:0 to 35 meters/115 feet or 1080p 60Hz 48bit to 70 meters/230 feet, with multi-channel audio support up to Dolby Atmos and DTS-X.

In terms of control, the model update adds bidirectional RS232 as well as its previously supported bi-directional IR enabling source or display to be controlled from either end and CEC passthrough for one-touch on/off commands. Connection to third party IR/control products is also possible by connecting a WyreStorm IR link cable. Two-way PoH power continues to offer integrators flexible and convenient PSU-free installation, enabling Tx or Rx to be remotely powered from either location depending on the needs of the application, which both simplifying installation and reduces potential points of failure in a system.

Version two of the EX-70-G2 also features auto EDID management and all within the same super compact 15mm chassis for effortless installation behind flush-mounted screens. The EX-70-G2 4K UHD HDBaseT extender with bi-directional IR/RS232 Control and CEC Pass-through (4K: 35 meters/115 feet | 1080p: 70 meters/230 feet) is here.
