What This Solves
Extended Workstation Connectivity
In office environments where workstations need to be physically separated from displays and peripherals, this extender provides a reliable link. It allows users to operate a computer from a remote desk while the main unit is in a secure or less accessible location.
Corporate offices, engineering labs, control rooms, executive suites
Conference Room AV Extension
For meeting rooms and presentation spaces, this solution extends HDMI video from a central podium or table to a wall-mounted display or projector. The integrated USB hub supports interactive whiteboards or presentation clickers at the display end.
Meeting rooms, training facilities, boardrooms, huddle spaces
Digital Signage & Kiosk Deployment
When deploying digital signage or interactive kiosks in retail, hospitality, or public spaces, the source media player often needs to be secured away from the display. This extender transmits video and touch input (via USB) over a single CAT6 cable.
