Preserving Signal Quality
In the expansive landscape of broadcast and professional audio/video integration, reliable connectivity and consistent dataflow are essential parts of a successful infrastructure. Video and audio data signals need to be maintained and regulated for any large-scale production or presentation that requires data to be sent over long runs. Top-end broadcast cameras, recorders, and formats are irrelevant if the data degrades over distance.
Ocean Matrix understands this necessity and provides a line of robust A/V converters, distribution amplifiers, hum eliminators, signal extenders, and other tools to ensure you maintain the superior image quality you’ve invested in.
The Ocean Matrix OMX-01HMBT0013 Extender Set
One of the trials in establishing a versatile data flow is the ability to convert signals when appropriate without compromising quality. Ocean Matrix addresses this challenge with the Ocean Matrix OMX-01HMBT0013 extender. This extender set provides the capacity to send high bandwidth video and other essential signals over a distance of up to 100 meters (or 328 feet) through a single Cat6a or Cat7 network cable. For video, this includes uncompressed 4:4:4 4K Ultra High Definition streams at 60hz at up to 18 Gbps.
The OMX-01HMBT0013 supports eARC/ARC function (enhanced audio return channels), providing compatibility with most high bitrate audio formats found in a variety of playback and presentation configurations, such as LPCM, Dolby Digital/Plus/EX, Dolby TrueHD, DTS, DTS-EX, DTS-96/94, DTS High Res, DTS-HD Master audio, and DSD. Digital audio support is also available for LPCM 2.0, AC3 5.1, and DTS 5.1 formats.
Signal Compatibility and Compliance
The extender allows pass-through for Bi-Directional IR for device line of site extension, Ethernet data rates up to 1GbE, USB 2.0 signals up to 350Mps, and pass-through for devices that still utilize RS-232 connectivity.
The Ocean Matrix OMX-01HMBT0013 transmitter and receiving units offer several further feature support:
- High Dynamic Range and video contrast pass-through compatible with industry-standard technologies such as HDR, HDR10, HDR10+, Dolby Vision, and HLG.
