Monoprice Blackbird 4K Pro HDBaseT Extender Kit
This Monoprice Blackbird 4K Pro HDBaseT Extender Kit extends High Speed HDMI signals over a single Cat6 Ethernet cable. It delivers 10.2Gbps bandwidth and supports HDCP 2.2 compliance. The kit includes transmitter and receiver units with Power over Cable functionality, allowing power delivery through the Cat6 cable. It also provides IR and RS232 extension for remote control and device management.
Installers needing 4K at 35 metres
This extender suits integrators who need to transmit 4K@60Hz video up to 35 metres (115 feet) or 1080p video up to 70 metres (230 feet) over Cat6 cabling. The PoC feature eliminates the need for a local power outlet at the receiver location. Buyers requiring 4K extension beyond 35 metres or those who need included IR accessories should consider alternative solutions.
HDCP 2.2 compliance for protected 4K content
The single specification that decides suitability is HDCP 2.2 support, which enables transmission of copy-protected 4K content from modern sources. Without this compliance, protected 4K material would not display correctly. The kit weighs 1.84 kilograms and carries part number 121609 for ordering reference.

Questions about this item
Do I need to supply my own IR emitter and receiver cables for the IR extension feature?
Yes, IR accessories are not included with the kit, so you must provide your own IR emitter and receiver cables.
Will the Cat6 cable carrying 4K@60Hz video also power the receiver unit through PoC?
Yes, the Power over Cable feature delivers power over the same Cat6 cable, allowing the receiver to operate without a separate AC power outlet.
How can I verify the link is running at 4K@60Hz with HDCP 2.2 after connecting the transmitter and receiver?
Check that the source reports 4K@60Hz output and that protected content plays without HDCP errors on the display.
