AV control and distribution manufacturer, Pulse-Eight has launched the new Pulse-Eight Ultra Receiver product which has been officially approved by Steinway Lyngdorf to work with the Steinway & Sons P300 immersive sound processor.
A HDBaseT “4k60 Type-A” compliant receiver solution, the Pulse-Eight Ultra Receiver employs DSC technology which enables long-distance transmission (100m/328ft) of HDMI2.0 video (4K, 60Hz with 4:4:4 chroma encoding) and 100Mbps ethernet over a single category cable.
At 13mm high, the Pulse-Eight Ultra Receiver is a discreet solution for use behind ultra-thin TVs.
“Today’s 4K video and audio extension requirements over a long distance offer a technical challenge due to the immense data rate requirements over the cable,” said Thomas Birkelund, CEO/CTO of Steinway Lyngdorf.
“Our P300 sound processor offers the most advanced HDBaseT output available, supporting HDMI 2.0 (18Gbps) extension. We are confident of the capabilities of the Pulse-Eight Ultra Receiver which has been thoroughly validated by our engineers to work flawlessly with our P300 processor at the highest rates achievable.”
Pulse-Eight’s business development director, Jonathan Regalado-Hawkey added: “We are extremely proud of this endorsement from Steinway Lyngdorf, who are regarded as a standard of excellence within the AV industry for offering the finest sound systems in the market.
