Featuring eight HDBaseT™ 1.x output ports, the board is compatible with the full range of Lightware TPS extenders and HDBaseT™ compliant 3rd party transmitters. The HDBaseT™ technology provides a transparent medium for all video, audio, data and control signals in line with the 25G multilayer architecture and allows for a cost effective extension solution for up to 170 meters.

The A3 add on has bi directional configurable Phoenix connectors. The digitized audio from the add on can be embedded either to the output HDMI signal or to the Return Audio Layer. Moreover, IEC 60958 1 audio either from the HDMI signal or the Forward Audio Layer can be routed to the add on output.

The board provides remote powering for extenders according to the PoE specification (IEEE 802.3af-2003) but with increased output power of 25.4W. Remote powering does not require an external power source other than that of the 25G matrix switcher.
