ATEN VE8950T – Extend 4K AV over 100 m

We recommend the ATEN VE8950T for digital signage and multi-display installations that need to carry 4K video over distance. This transmitter sends AV over Cat5e or Cat6 cabling for runs up to 100 metres.

Key specifications for AV planning

Extend video across a larger site

The VE8950T is designed for AV over IP using a local network and a Gigabit network switch. This makes it suitable for installations such as conference centres, campuses, airports and shopping centres. Its maximum supported resolutions include 3840 × 2160 and 4096 × 2160.

ATEN specifies visually lossless 4K transmission with low latency. Daisy-chain support also gives system planners another option when arranging larger AV systems.

Connect control and audio equipment

Alongside HDMI video, the transmitter supports stereo audio. It has a USB 2.0 Type-B port, an RS-232 serial port and a remote IR input for control connections. Buttons provide on-device control, while LED indicators show status.

HDCP support and firmware upgradeability are included. The metal unit measures 136 × 101 × 29.6 mm and weighs 500 g, so you can account for its size when planning installation space.

Before you order

• Confirm your AV design uses a Gigabit network switch for AV over IP.
• Check that your planned Cat5e or Cat6 cable run stays within 100 metres.
• Confirm your video equipment connects through HDMI and supports your intended resolution.
• Check that your installation can accommodate the transmitter’s 136 × 101 × 29.6 mm dimensions.
