Datavideo HBT-15 4K HDBaseT Transmitter box

The Datavideo HBT‑15 is a professional 4K HDBaseT transmitter engineered to deliver high-quality video, audio, control signals and power over a single Ethernet cable, providing a highly efficient solution for modern AV and live production environments. Designed as a core component within HDBaseT workflows, it enables seamless long-distance signal transmission while significantly reducing system complexity and cabling requirements.

At its core, the HBT‑15 supports Ultra HD video up to 4K 2160p at 50 and 60 frames per second, ensuring sharp image reproduction and accurate color fidelity for professional production standards. With an HDMI 2.0 input, the unit integrates easily with cameras, switchers and other HDMI sources, while maintaining high-bandwidth signal integrity throughout the transmission chain.

Using HDBaseT technology, the HBT‑15 combines video, embedded multi-channel audio, control data and power into a single Cat6a cable, supporting transmission distances of up to 100 meters. This single-cable architecture eliminates the need for separate signal and power lines, resulting in faster installations, cleaner setups and improved reliability in complex production environments.

The transmitter supports multiple professional control protocols, including DVIP, RS‑422 and RS‑232, enabling remote control of connected devices such as PTZ cameras. This allows operators to adjust parameters such as positioning, presets and other camera functions from a centralized control location, enhancing workflow efficiency and operational precision.

An integrated 12V DC output provides power for remote equipment, allowing connected devices to operate without requiring local power sources. This feature is particularly valuable for installations where access to power is limited or where a streamlined setup is required. Combined with HDBaseT infrastructure, it enables flexible and scalable system design across both fixed installations and mobile production setups.

The HBT‑15 also supports advanced video and audio standards, including HDMI Deep Color and multi-channel audio formats up to 7.1 surround sound, ensuring high-quality signal transmission without degradation. HDCP compatibility allows secure content transfer while maintaining full compatibility with professional equipment.

Built with a rugged metal chassis and designed for continuous operation, the HBT‑15 delivers reliable performance in demanding environments. Its compact form factor allows easy integration into existing systems, while its efficient thermal design ensures stability during extended use.

With its combination of 4K video transmission, integrated control, power delivery and long-distance connectivity, the Datavideo HBT‑15 provides a powerful and scalable solution for simplifying professional AV and live production workflows.
