ATEN HDMI HDBaseT Extender (4K@100m) (HDBaseT Class A)-TAA Compliant

The ATEN VE811 HDMI HDBaseT Extender is a high-performance solution designed for premium AV distribution where reliability, picture quality, and ease of installation matter most. Built to carry a pristine HDMI signal over a single Cat 5e/6/6a cable (or ATEN 2L-2910 Cat 6 cable), the VE811 delivers your source content to a distant display without compromise. Whether you’re outfitting a corporate conference room, a classroom, a digital signage installation, or a home theater, this extender pair (transmitter and receiver) provides a sleek, scalable way to extend HDMI up to 100 meters while preserving essential HDMI features.

With HDBaseT Class A technology, the VE811 bundles video, audio, power, LAN, and control signals into a single, robust connection. This approach minimizes cable clutter and simplifies installation, making it an excellent choice for new builds or retrofits where long cable runs are inevitable. The VE811 aligns with current HDMI specifications, supporting 3D content, Deep Color for richer, more accurate hues, and HD lossless audio formats. In addition, CEC pass-through lets you control connected devices with a single remote, streamlining day-to-day operation in meeting spaces, classrooms, or living areas. And as a TAA-compliant product, it’s suitable for procurement in government and enterprise environments, offering peace of mind for organizations with strict sourcing requirements.

Engineered for flexibility, the VE811 can be deployed in a variety of layouts—from podium to wall-mount setups—and handles the rigors of active, professional environments. It supports 4K video performance over substantial distances, ensuring that a new generation of displays and projectors can be integrated into existing infrastructures without the need for complex recalibration or signal boosters. The result is a clean, reliable installation that preserves the integrity of your content—whether it’s a corporate presentation, a lecture, a live event, or blockbuster home theater viewing.

In addition to its formidable video capabilities, the VE811 is designed to work harmoniously with your audio ecosystem. It carries HD lossless audio formats, including Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS-HD Master Audio, so your cinema-quality sound travels as cleanly as the video to your AV receiver or soundbar. This combination of high-resolution video and immersive audio makes the VE811 an ideal backbone for modern AV setups that demand clarity, depth, and a seamless user experience. The result is a professional-grade extender that delivers reliable performance day after day, with the kind of robustness you expect from ATEN’s engineering heritage.

When you pair the VE811 with compatible equipment, you gain additional benefits beyond extended reach. The HDBaseT interface consolidates video, audio, and control into a single standard that’s easy to maintain and troubleshoot. This means fewer potential points of failure and a simpler routing plan for cabling in both temporary installations and permanent deployments. For education environments, corporate spaces, or upscale home theaters, the VE811 makes it feasible to place displays in ideal viewing locations while keeping the source equipment streamlined and accessible. The result is a versatile, scalable solution that grows with your needs and keeps your AV investments future-proof for years to come.

In short, the VE811 represents a balanced blend of performance, reliability, and value. It brings 4K capability and long-distance transmission into a compact, easy-to-install package that fits a wide range of applications. Its emphasis on essential HDMI features—3D, Deep Color, HD lossless audio, and CEC control—ensures that content looks and sounds as intended, no matter where your display resides. And because it’s HDBaseT Class A, you can expect a robust, high-quality extension that is well-suited to professional environments as well as discerning home theater setups.
