Introduction The extender set (p/n CM-BT20-COMPACT-70) consists of a transmitter and receiver pair. HDMI signals are input into the transmitter and HDBaseT technology is used to transmit the signals to the receiver up to 230 ft. (70 m) via a Cat5e/Cat6 cable. The receiver then outputs the HDMI signal.
