Adder ALDV100T AdderLink DV100 HDMI Transmitter over CATx

Product Overview

The Adder ALDV100T is the transmitter unit of the AdderLink DV100 HDMI extender over CATx, built to relocate media playback hardware away from the display point while preserving a pixel-perfect picture. This compact USB-powered HDMI transmitter sends uncompressed digital video up to 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz with eight channels of embedded HDMI audio across a single CATx cable run of up to 50 meters. Because power is harvested from a standard USB socket, no external power supply is required at the source, simplifying digital signage and secure AV extension installations. It pairs with the AdderLink DV100 receiver to form a complete point-to-point HDMI extension link.

Product Description

In commercial AV projects, the equipment driving a screen often cannot live next to the screen. Public concourses, retail windows, transport hubs, and control room video walls all benefit from keeping playback hardware in a secure, temperature-controlled equipment room. The ALDV100T addresses this by transmitting the exact content seen on a local monitor to a remote display over inexpensive CATx cabling, supporting HDCP so protected content plays without interruption.

The transmitter is a small-form-factor dongle in a tough but lightweight ABS enclosure, measuring just 45 x 63 x 21 mm with 30 cm pigtails. It connects directly to the source via an HDMI Type A male connector and draws power from a USB Type A port, with the transmitter and receiver together consuming only 2.5W at 5VDC. Units ship in a zero-config state, so this HDMI over CATx transmitter works the moment it is connected with no drivers or software to install, and it is compatible with all computers with HDMI connections across all known operating systems.

EDID management lets the remote system mirror the data coming from the source monitor, so resolutions such as 480p, 720p, 1080p, and WUXGA negotiate correctly without manual intervention. Adder recommends CAT6 shielded or better cabling, with CAT7 shielded foiled twisted pair achieving the full 50-meter distance at 1920 x 1200 @ 60Hz. The DV family is also interchangeable, enabling cross-connection between HDMI transmitters and DVI-D receivers where a project mixes display types.
