About the eLink 100 Transmitter and Receiver

The eLink 100 transmitter and receiver pair uses multi-input and multi-output (MIMO)
wireless communication technology to transmit HDMI video and multi-channel embedded
audio. This HDCP-compliant extender can send computer video resolutions up to
1920x1080, including HDTV 1080p @ 60 Hz, with less than 1 ms required to process the
video signal (latency). AES-128 encryption provides a secure link to send signals up to
100 feet (30 meters).
The eLink 100 T transmitter uses the 5 GHz spectrum to transmit signals. In addition to
point-to-point applications, one transmitter can be linked with up to four eLink 100 R
receivers, allowing a single source such as a digital signage player to support multiple
displays.
The transmitter and receiver are wirelessly compatible only with each other, but they can
wirelessly extend any Extron product that has HDMI connectivity, including switchers and
scalers. The transmitter can be connected to any Extron HDMI output with a signal up to
1080p @ 60 Hz. The receiver can be connected to any Extron HDMI input.
