HDMI 2.1 Over Fiber Extender Rx with Bi-Directional IR, RS-232, 1G Ethernet, USB 3.1 & KVM Support
Overview (Pre-order, Ships Q4 2025)
The BG-IPGEAR-XTREME-F is a cutting-edge HDMI 2.1 over fiber extender designed for mission-critical AV transmission in broadcast, medical imaging, eSports, control rooms, and high-end home theater applications. With support for uncompressed 4K60 4:4:4 and visually lossless DSC-compressed 4K144 4:4:4, it also enables 8K@30Hz 4:4:4 transmission, ensuring next-generation video performance with zero-frame latency over distances up to 10km (6.25 miles) via single-mode fiber optic cable.
Beyond video, this extender provides full-featured connectivity with bi-directional IR, full-duplex RS-232, USB 3.1 KVM, eARC/ARC, and 1Gb Ethernet pass-through. With its interference-free fiber optic transmission, the BG-IPGEAR-XTREME-F is engineered to deliver the ultimate in high-resolution video, data, and control extension over long distances.
