The Marmitek MegaView 66 is an HDMI extender that carries high-definition video and audio over a single CAT5e or CAT6 Ethernet cable to a maximum of 60 metres at 1080p resolution. It is designed for installations where the HDMI source — such as a Blu-ray player, digital TV decoder, Media Centre PC, or hard disk recorder — needs to feed a screen or projector located in a different room or behind closed cabinet doors.

Unlike a standard HDMI cable run, the MegaView 66 uses structured cabling already present in many homes and offices, reducing installation cost. The included infrared return function allows the user to control the connected source device using their own remote control from the display end of the installation.

Key Features

• HDMI and DVI signal extension over a single CAT5e or CAT6 cable
• Maximum cable run of 60 metres at 1080p resolution without compression
• Supports 1080p Full HD and 3D formats (720p@59.94/60/50 Hz, 1080p@23.98/24/30 Hz)
• Infrared return function with 3.5 mm jack IR receiver cable (100 cm)
• IR frequency range: 20–60 kHz, reception range ±6 metres
• 1 HDMI input on transmitter and 1 HDMI output on receiver (both 19-pin female)

Product Benefits

• Eliminates the need for a long HDMI cable run — a single CAT5e/6 cable handles both video and audio over distances HDMI cannot reach
• Full HD and 3D content is transmitted without compression, preserving picture and sound quality
• The infrared passback lets you change channels, adjust volume, or control playback from the viewing room rather than walking to the source
• Uses standard RJ45 EIA/TIA T568B termination, compatible with professionally installed structured cabling
• Wide input voltage range (100–240 VAC) makes it suitable for any European or international power socket
