Product Features
Technical Overview
The VE901R leverages HDBaseT-Lite technology to transmit uncompressed 4K video signals up to 40 meters (131 feet) and 1080p signals up to 70 meters (229.66 feet) over Category 6a twisted-pair cable. This extends beyond the typical range of direct DisplayPort connections while maintaining the original video quality without compression artifacts.
The receiver supports a maximum resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels, ensuring compatibility with professional 4K displays and projectors. A single RJ-45 port handles both video and control signals, simplifying cable management compared to solutions requiring separate video and control cabling.
Relevant factors for this section include Connectivity Technology, Number of Output Devices Supported, Maximum Operating Distance, Graphics Modes. 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.
