Since the EX-1UTP-IR-50-POH extender set features PoH (Power-Over-HDBaseT) technology, it, theoretically, eliminates the need for a separate power supply at the TV, resulting in a simpler install as the receiver is powered from the transmitter at the source end. In addition, the adapter claims to also have an EDID feature that allows an integrator to choose from one of a number of pre-set EDID’s. For example, achieving 7.1 DTS audio from an AVR becomes quick and easy as the integrator simply sets the EDID on the EX-1UTP-IR-50-POH accordingly and the transmitter requests 7.1 audio directly from the source.
