Crestron HD-EARC KIT DM Essentials 4K60 eARC Transmitter and Receiver Kit

The HD-EARC KIT pairs an HD-TXC-EARC transmitter with an HD-RXC-EARC receiver to extend HDMI video, RS-232, IR and optical digital audio over a single CAT5e or better twisted pair run. What sets it apart from a plain extender is eARC: audio returning from the display travels back down the same cable to a soundbar, AVR or DSP at the source end.

Video is supported to 4K60 with 4:4:4 color sampling, with HDR10 and other HDR formats passed through. The receiver takes its power over the CATx cable from the transmitter, so only one end needs a supply. Use it where the source rack and the display are rooms apart and the room audio lives with the rack.
