Overview

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.

 

Features In-Depth

The BG-IPGEAR-XTREME-F is built for high-performance AV transmission, supporting 8K@30Hz 4:4:4, uncompressed 4K60 4:4:4, and visually lossless DSC-compressed 4K144 4:4:4 over single-mode fiber. With 48Gbps bandwidth (FRL 6), this extender ensures flawless signal integrity while maintaining compatibility with HDMI 2.1, HDCP 2.3, and DisplayPort 1.4 (USB-C Alt Mode) sources.

For next-generation gaming and media applications, the BG-IPGEAR-XTREME-F supports Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) for smooth, tear-free motion, Auto Low Latency Mode (ALLM) for instant response, and eARC/ARC pass-through for lossless Dolby Atmos and DTS:X audio transmission. Its USB 3.1 KVM function enables remote control of peripherals, while 1Gb Ethernet pass-through facilitates seamless IP communication. Transparent EDID and HDCP handling optimize device compatibility, and CEC pass-through ensures integrated control across connected AV components.

Encased in a rugged metal housing, this extender includes both transmitter and receiver units, single-mode fiber modules, IR blaster/receiver, and DC 12V power adapters. Designed for environments demanding ultra-high-definition, long-range AV distribution, the BG-IPGEAR-XTREME-F delivers unparalleled performance and connectivity for professional AV, gaming, and cinematic applications.
