Hall Research launches the EX-4KU, a kit consisting of a single-gang wall plate HDBaseT transmitter and a receiver designed to extend 4K HDMI video and USB data over a single UTP cable.
The kit uses HDBaseT 2.0 technology, and the company claims it extends video and USB with zero latency and no compression. The wall plate transmitter provides an HDMI input with a USB port for connection to a PC or Mac. It supports all PC and HDTV resolutions, up to and including 4K UHD (3840 x 2160). The wall plate also provides two USB charing ports, and the extender supports all USB 1.1 and 2.0 devices such as as keyboards, mice, touchscreens, interactive whiteboards and cameras.

With AES67 support, DM NVX endpoints can send breakaway audio from a video source to mixers, DSPs and amplifiers, as well as receive signals from mixers, DSPs and microsoft with support for the AES67 standard. Meanwhile the ultra-fast no-glitch switching delivers "virtually imperceptible" switching from one network stream to another.
“We have a steadfast commitment to continuously evolving the DM NVX platform to be the best in every way,” the company says. “Last year, we brought exclusive Pixel Perfect Processing technology to DM NVX to deliver image quality as good as the source, and over a standard 1 gigabit network-- no need for all the expense and disruption of installing a new 10 gigabit network. This year, we’ve taken audio support and switching speed to an entirely new level. Even better news, these capabilities will be implemented across the entire product line.”
