The ATEN VE801R is a rack-mountable HDMI HDBaseT-Lite receiver that extends video from a compatible HDBaseT transmitter over one Cat 5e/6/6a cable, making it suitable for meeting rooms, classrooms, and other AV installations needing a distant display connection.
Recommended For
- AV installers connecting a compatible ATEN HDBaseT transmitter to a remote display over existing Cat 5e/6/6a cabling, when the run is too long for their HDMI cable.
- Schools and meeting-room teams sending a presentation-room HDMI signal to a distant projector or screen, with 4K needed only at the shorter supported cable distances.
- Digital-signage or venue teams routing one HDMI source to a remote display over a single installed network-style cable, where a dedicated point-to-point AV link—not general network connectivity—is wanted.
- Home-theater users placing a compatible HDMI source away from a TV or projector and extending the connection over Cat cable; ATEN lists digital entertainment centers as a use case.
Real-World Use Scenarios
- In a classroom with a compatible HDBaseT transmitter or AV matrix in a rack, connect the VE801R near the projector or display so lesson video can travel over a Cat cable instead of a long HDMI run.
- In a conference room, place the receiver by the room display and connect it to a compatible HDBaseT presentation system; presenters can show laptop content without routing a long HDMI cable across the room.
- In a multi-display classroom or media space, connect a VE801R at each remote screen fed by a compatible HDBaseT matrix; the system can deliver selected video sources to displays in different parts of the room.
- In a home entertainment setup, keep a source device or AV equipment in a cabinet away from the TV and use the receiver at the display end; a compatible HDBaseT transmitter sends the picture and audio over the Cat cable.
