Product Information
Full details
The Digitus 4K HDMI Extender Set (DS-55204) is designed for users who need to extend high-resolution 4K/60Hz video and audio signals over long distances. Its key benefit is enabling uncompressed 4K content up to 70 meters using a single CAT 6 or higher network cable, with the added convenience of IR remote control pass-through. A potential consideration is the need for a network cable of CAT 6 or superior quality for optimal performance.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What is the maximum resolution and refresh rate supported?
The extender set supports a maximum digital resolution of 4096 x 2160 pixels (4K) at a refresh rate of 60Hz.
What type of network cable is required?
For optimal performance, a CAT 6, CAT 6A, or CAT 7 network cable is required. CAT 5e may work for lower resolutions or shorter distances, but is not officially supported for 4K/60Hz over the full range.
Can I power both the transmitter and receiver units separately?
Yes, you can power either the transmitter or the receiver unit using the included AC adapter. The Power over Cable (PoC) feature allows the powered unit to supply power to the other unit through the network cable.
Does this extender support audio transmission?
Yes, the extender transmits both digital video and audio signals.
What is the maximum distance this extender can operate?
The maximum transmission distance is up to 70 meters using a supported network cable (CAT 6 or higher).
Can I control my source device with a remote control from the receiver end?
Yes, the integrated IR interface allows for remote control of the connected input source from the receiver location.
Is HDCP 2.2 supported?
Yes, the Digitus 4K HDMI Extender Set is compliant with HDCP 2.2.
Troubleshooting
No video signal on the display
Verify all HDMI and network cable connections are secure. Ensure the network cable is CAT 6 or higher. Check that both the transmitter and receiver units are powered on (LED indicators should be lit). Confirm the source device and display are set to the correct input and resolution.
Poor video quality or flickering
The network cable may be damaged or of insufficient quality. Try a different CAT 6/6A/7 cable. Ensure the transmission distance does not exceed 70 meters. Verify the source content is indeed 4K/60Hz.
IR remote control is not working
Ensure the IR transmitter and receiver cables are correctly plugged into the designated IR ports on both units. Check that the IR transmitter and receiver are properly aligned with the source device's IR sensor and the receiver's IR input, respectively. Confirm the source device supports IR control pass-through.
One of the units is not powering on
Ensure the AC adapter is securely connected to the unit and the power outlet. If using PoC, try powering the other unit with the AC adapter to verify the adapter and the powered unit are functional.
