Frequently Asked Questions - AT-OPUS-70C-KIT Atlona

What is the maximum transmission distance of the AT-OPUS-70C-KIT?

The maximum distance depends on resolution and cable type. For 4K, up to 130 ft (40 m) with CAT6a/CAT7; for 1080p, up to 230 ft (70 m) with CAT6a/CAT7. Use solid core shielded cable for best results.

Does the kit support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?

Yes, the transmitter provides 48V PoE to the receiver over the HDBaseT link, so no separate power supply is needed at the receiver end.

How do I control devices via RS-232?

Connect a 3-pin captive screw connector to the RS-232 port on the transmitter or receiver. Pin assignments: RX, TX, Ground. Connect to a control system for bidirectional pass-through.

Can I use IR control with this kit?

Yes. Connect an IR receiver (e.g., AT-IR-CS-RX) to the IR IN port on the transmitter, and an IR emitter to the IR OUT port on the transmitter or receiver. The 4-pin (TX) and 5-pin (RX) connectors support IR pass-through.

How do I update firmware on the AT-OPUS-RX receiver?

Download the update tool from Atlona's website. Connect a category cable between TX and RX, power the TX, and connect a USB cable from the DEBUG port on the RX to a PC. Run the ProgRun.bat file and follow prompts. Power cycle after success.

What type of cable is recommended for HDBaseT?

Atlona recommends solid core, shielded CAT6a or CAT7 cable with TIA/EIA 568-B termination. Stranded or patch cables may cause performance issues.

Can the transmitter be mounted in a rack?

Yes, the compact transmitter enclosure allows up to four units to be mounted side-by-side in a 1U rack tray. Brackets are included for surface mounting as well.

Does the kit support 4K at 60Hz?

Yes, the AT-OPUS-70C-KIT transmits video signals up to 4K/UHD @ 60Hz with multi-channel audio.

Is HDCP 2.2 supported?

Yes, the kit is HDCP 2.2 compliant for compatibility with the latest copy protection requirements.

What is the warranty on this product?

Warranty information is available at Atlona's website: https://atlona.com/warranty/. Check the product page for details.

4K/UHD HDMI® Over HDBaseT TX with Control and PoE

AT-OPUS-70C-KIT

The Atlona AT-OPUS-70C-KIT is an HDBaseT™ transmitter/receiver kit for HDMI transmission up to 230 feet (70 meters) over category cable with RS-232 and IR control plus Power over Ethernet capability. The kit transmits video signals up to 4K/UHD @ 60Hz with embedded multi-channel audio and remote 48V power for the receiver. HDCP 2.2 compliance ensures compatibility with the latest copy protection requirements and EDID communication is supported. Included brackets allow the devices to be surface mounted on furniture or behind a display. For higher density applications, the transmitter's compact enclosure allows four to be mounted in a single 1U rack tray, and they support power chaining for powering multiple units from one power supply. The AT-OPUS-70C-KIT is ideal for use in residential or commercial point to point applications that require HDBaseT signal transmission over greater distances than HDMI® can support.
