The POC-100 is an innovative product from Zigen supporting 4K/60Hz 4:4:4 HDMI 2.0, Bi-Directional IR, and RS232 extension over single UTP/STP cable. If the application does not need ARC support, but requires robustness and cost effectiveness, then the POC-100 is deal for all your residential HDMI distribution.
The ZIG-POC-100 is designed to be powered from either the Tx or Rx side. Ideal when cascading multiple extenders for longer reach or when powering from a particular side is not ideal.
Zigen's POC and PoE-PRO line of HDMI extenders use a proprietary compression/decompression engine to allow high bit rate video resolutions, such as 4K60 4:4:4, to pass through the 9-GBps bandwidth limitation of HDBaseT. The transmitting device is configured to compress the incoming video stream to a reduced rate HDMI signal, while the receiving device is configured to decompress the original video stream back to normal rate HDMI with minimum distortion and artifacts. DSC type compression engines utilize intelligent predictive methods, such as Median-Adaptive, Block Prediction, Midpoint Prediction, and Flatness Detection, to efficiently perform data bandwidth reduction. Zigen's extenders strictly pass raw HDMI signals up to 4K/30Hz 4:4:4 without any compression, while supporting all color bit depths. Compression is only used for resolutions from 4K/30Hz 4:4:4 to 4K60Hz 4:4:4.
