Product Features
Technical Overview
The VE805R employs wired HDBaseT-Lite technology to transmit uncompressed HDMI signals, including audio and control data, over a single Cat6a cable. This approach maintains signal integrity across long distances while reducing cable clutter and installation complexity compared to traditional HDMI extenders.
The receiver features one HDMI output port to connect directly to a display or projector, and one RJ-45 network port for the twisted-pair cable link to the transmitter. It supports standard twisted-pair media, with Category 6a cable recommended for achieving the full 196.85-foot range without signal degradation.
Relevant factors for this section include Connectivity Technology, Number of Output Devices Supported, Maximum Operating Distance, Network (RJ-45). When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.

FAQ
What is the maximum distance the VE805R can transmit HDMI signals?
The VE805R supports a maximum operating distance of 196.85 feet (60000 mm) when used with Category 6a twisted-pair cable. This extended range allows for flexible placement of AV source equipment relative to displays in large rooms or across multiple locations.
Does the VE805R require a specific type of cable for optimal performance?
Yes, the VE805R is designed to work with twisted-pair cable, specifically recommending Category 6a cable to achieve the full 196.85-foot range without signal loss. Using lower-grade cable may reduce the effective transmission distance or impact video quality.
How many displays can the VE805R receiver connect to?
The VE805R supports one output device, featuring a single HDMI output port. It is intended for point-to-point connections between a compatible HDBaseT-Lite transmitter and one display, such as a monitor, projector, or TV.
Is the VE805R rack-mountable?
Yes, the VE805R has a rack-mountable form factor with dimensions of 1.70" height, 6.70" width, and 7.20" depth, making it suitable for installation in standard AV racks or cabinets. This design helps organize equipment in professional and commercial settings.
What accessories are included with the VE805R for remote control?
The package includes an IR transmitter and IR receiver, along with a terminal block, enabling infrared remote control pass-through for source devices. This allows users to operate equipment like media players or set-top boxes from a distance without direct line-of-sight.
What is the purpose of the built-in scaler in the VE805R?
The built-in scaler adjusts the video output resolution to match the native resolution of the connected display, ensuring optimal image quality and compatibility. This feature helps prevent issues like overscan or underscan when transmitting signals between devices with different resolution capabilities.
