Introduction

Overview

The VE849 Multicast HDMI Wireless Extender extends your HDMI display

up to 30m* from the HDMI source to up to four separate receivers using

wireless technology. Easily connect two HDMI source devices, a local HDTV

and up to four receivers connected to HDTVs – wirelessly with crystal clear

image quality capable of streaming Full 1080p with 5.1 channel Dolby digital

audio and 3D technology. Supporting Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS),

the VE849 is able to operate within the U-NII Worldwide radio band (operating

within this regulated and less commonly used range greatly reduces Wi-Fi

signal interference and improves transmission quality and stability). The

included IR remote control allows you to switch between HDMI source

devices from the receiver side, remotely; and allows you to watch a local and

four wirelessly connected HDTV- simultaneously. The VE849 consists of a

wireless audio/video transmitter and receiver. Consolidate your HDMI

electronics and use the VE849 as a wireless 2-port HDMI switch to connect

remote devices such as Blu-ray players and HD Cable boxes to design your

own custom wireless entertainment space.

* Distance may vary depending on the actual environment; solid objects such

as steel, concrete, or brick may cause interference and shorten the

transmission distance.
