Your laptop's output is HDMI, the old projector in the back row takes VGA, and the display is 60 metres down the corridor. You're either running two cables or buying a signal booster that adds latency.
The VE2812AT handles both. HDMI or VGA input, one Cat 5e/6/6a cable out the back. 4K or 1080p up to 100 metres. Need more reach? HDBaseT Long Reach Mode pushes 1080p to 150 metres on Cat 5e/6.
PoH is built in – the receiver at the far end draws power from this transmitter's HDBaseT output port. No hunting for a 240V socket behind the projector screen. Auto Switch means if you swap the source (laptop to media player), it locks on without a reboot or re-plug.
Comes with the RS-232 terminal block, four foot pads, and a power adapter. Plug in, run the cable, done
