AC-EX40-444-PLUS AVPro Edge presents its 18Gbps over copper extender. Using ICT (Invisible Compression Technology) we have achieved what was thought to be impossible. We can deliver a virtually lossless high bandwidth 4K HDR signal with support for all signals up to 18Gbps. Deep Color and HDR Metadata remain intact making the transmission free of artifacts like banding. Other similar devices will deliver a sub-par image that has very visible banding and color shifting.

AC-EX40-444-PLUS RS-232 Configuration RS-232 can be used to pass control signals bi-directionally to & from any RS-232 compatible device. This is commonly used to route control signals in the following way: 1. Control System --> Display/Projector (ie, Power On/Off) 2. Display/Projector --> Control System (ie, Display Status, Volume Status etc...) 3. When ultra long-range serial communication is needed (think concerts, live events). Use the extender.
