One laptop, four screens, and a 30-metre run that's giving you a headache. The ATEN VS1824KIT handles it. Plug your HDMI source into the splitter, and four VE1821R receivers on the other end light up — each over a single Cat 6 cable, up to 40 metres.
4K at 30 Hz with full 4:4:4 chroma. Lossless audio passes through untouched — LPCM 7.1, Dolby TrueHD, DTS-HD Master Audio, whatever your source throws at it. Power travels down the same cable (PoC), so you're not fishing for a power point behind every display.
The receivers are palm-sized. Mount them behind a screen, clip them to a truss, drop them in a ceiling void — wherever the display is, the receiver goes there. One-way IR gets your remote signal from the receiver side back to the source. No drivers. No configuration software. Plug it in, power up, done
