From the HDMI cable specification, we know that the HDMI cable should not longer than 20 meters for Full HD resolution (1080P@60Hz). So we need a new devices to make the audio and video transmission reach further distance. HDMI extender, extends HDMI signal over CAT5e/6 UTP/FTP cable up to 150 meters (the distance depends on the Soc solution), it includes 1 transmitter and 1 receiver, the transmitter convert HDMI signal to a special format signal which can be carried on UTP/FTP cable, and the receiver restore the signal to standard HDMI signal which can be decoded by normal HDMI displays. It reduce the cost and more reliable than the long HDMI cable. At the same time with the extender it is available to carry IR remote signal on UTP/FTP cable, so it is easy to control the media player by the side of the display which is far away from media player.

Below picture shows how the HDMI extender works.



3. What is the HDMI splitter extender? 


Splitter extender is a video splitter plus several video extenders. That is to say, it is the combination of splitter and extender, you can distribute one video input source to several outputs over CAT5e/6 UTP/FTP cable, and use receivers on display side which are a few tens of meters away from the source. 

Below picture shows how HDMI splitter and extender work to distribute source audio and video content to several places which are dozens of meters or hundreds of meters.
