Vanco EV4K2006 Evolution 4K HDMI Extender

An upgrade to the Vanco EVEX2006 Evolution Ultra Slim HDMI over Single Cat5e/Cat6 Cable Extender with PoE, the Evolution EV4K2006 4K HDMI extender offers added 4K capabilities and can be integrated in AV installations of any scale and size.

The EV4K2006 model comes with both a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter captures the HDMI input using IR signals and transmits the signal over a single Cat5e or Cat6 cable. The receiver is responsible for equalizing the HDMI signal received, and reconstruction of the IR signal.

Vanco’s EV4K2006 HDMI extender is a highly convenient solution for integrators as it offers HDMI extension with bi-directional IR, bi-directional PoE, and auto EDID/EQ — enabling either the transmitting or receiving unit to be powered without a power supply. This feature alone, expands its capability to be integrated into many different types of applications, and it’s slim and compact design ensures smoother installations for residential and CAV technicians.

In a recent press release, Mark Corbin, president of Vanco International emphasized:

“The demand for 4K video is growing, so we feel that the EV4K2006 is an excellent option for installers looking to expand 4K within systems of any size and scale, commercial or residential alike.”

Designed with the installer in mind, below are the top features of the EV4K2006 4K HDMI Extender:

  • Allows HDMI audio/video signals to be transmitted using a single Cat5e or Cat6 Cable
  • Transmission Range: Extends 4K@60Hz, 4:4:4 Chroma up to 164ft/50m and 4K@30Hz, 4:4:4 Chroma and HDR up to 130ft/40m over a single Cat5e/6 cable
  • Features Power over Ethernet (PoE) Technology which transmits power over Cat5e/Cat6, allowing the transmitter and receiver to be powered off of a single power supply
  • Wideband bi-directional IR signal from 20KHz to 60KHz allows for dynamic control of source or display (IR accessories included)
  • Auto EDID and EQ Management, auto-adjust for plug and play installation
  • HDR10 Compatible
  • HDCP 2.2 compliant — compatible with HDMI and HDCP compliant devices
  • Supports uncompressed 7.1ch digital audio, DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD high bit rate audio
