High Resolution high definition video can be transferred over large distances using a HDMI Extender. Increased distance is achieved by securing connections between the receiving and transmitting unit either through Cat5 cables or fiber optic cables. While the transmitter is connected to the HDMI source, the receiver is connected to the monitor. Once the connections are in place, the device is ready to be used. Working on simple plug and play functionality, it does not require any additional software or drivers in order to be operational. Since category cables are used for connections, it reduces clutter caused by bulky VGA cables and also eliminates the distance limitation imposed by HDMI cables.
In order to make a long distance connection work, the HDMI Fiber Optic Extender uses a standard SC duplex multimode fiber optic extender cable. DDC and CEC signal line is transmitted by copper line (RJ45 connector). It provides full support for all HD resolutions up to 1600p including 1080i, 1080p, 1440p, HDCP, multi channel audio, CEC and IR remote control. Control over this unit is exercised using IR Remote control.

The main factor contributing towards increased demand of these extenders is the ability to support HDCP (High-Bandwidth Digital Content Protection) which is a standard used to protect copyrighted digital content and is essential to ensure a successful display of HDCP-compliant video. HDCP compliance is done by encrypting the video signal between the source device and the display. This feature ensures that the HDMI Extender provides crisp and clear HDMI signals.
