he RX-HT2-40-20 is a dedicated HDBaseT receiver designed to work seamlessly with Netvio’s MX-HT2 series matrix switchers. Its role is to extend HDMI signals over twisted pair cabling up to 40 m (131 ft) at 4K60 4:4:4, delivering the same uncompromised video quality you’d expect from a direct HDMI connection.
This makes it especially useful in installations where displays are located some distance away from the matrix rack but still within medium-range cable runs. The compact receiver form factor also makes it easy to conceal behind displays or in wall boxes, giving integrators flexibility during installation.
Cat5e or Cat6 cabling is typically sufficient for most signal transmissions. However, for higher resolutions over longer distances, Cat6a is recommended to ensure optimal performance.
Transmission distances are approximate and can vary depending on environmental factors and installation quality. The RX-HT2-40-10 supports distances of up to 40 meters (131ft) for 4K signals and approximately 70 meters (231 ft) for 1080p
⚠️ Note: Pre-made patch cables using stranded copper (common in consumer-grade products) may not achieve the advertised transmission distances. For optimal performance, use solid copper cables typically found in professional installations.
Yes, with ARC enabled, audio from the display (for example, from streaming apps like Netflix or broadcast TV tuners) can be sent back to the matrix through the same HDBaseT cable.
The matrix can then route that audio to analog stereo or coaxial digital outputs, or redistribute it to another zone. This simplifies cabling by eliminating the need for separate audio return connections, and ensures displays can act as both sinks and sources in the system.
If your display does not support Audio Return Channel (ARC), the RX-HT2-40-20 still functions as a standard HDBaseT receiver, extending 4K60 4:4:4 video up to 40 m (131 ft) with IR and RS-232 pass-through. ARC simply won’t be active in this case.
However, the RX-HT2-40-20 also includes a digital SPDIF audio return path, which can be used in the same way as ARC to send audio back to the matrix. This ensures that audio from a connected display can still be captured and redistributed, even if the display itself does not provide native ARC support.
Both the transmitter and receiver support bidirectional IR and RS-232 signal transmission.
This allows control signals to be sent from the source to the display—and vice versa—enabling full system control from either end of the extender link.
The EX-701 includes RS-232 connectors and all necessary IR extension cables for straightforward integration.
Choose the RX-HT2-40-20 when your installation requires ARC functionality — for example, if the displays connected to the matrix need to send audio back into the system.
If ARC is not required, the RX-HT2-40-10 offers the same 40 m extension and control pass-through at a more cost-effective price point.
