Pulse-Eight Launches Steinway Lyngdorf Approved Ultra Receiver

Pulse-Eight has announced the launch of the new Pulse-Eight Ultra Receiver, which has been officially approved by Steinway Lyngdorf to work with the Steinway & Sons P300 immersive sound processor. The Pulse-Eight Ultra Receiver is a HDBaseT 4K60 Type-A-compliant receiver solution that employs DSC technology, enabling 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. The Pulse-Eight Ultra Receiver is, at only 13mm high, perfect for a discreet installation behind ultra-thin TVs.

NB! The P200 and P300 supports ethernet over HDBT, and the Ultra Receiver has ethernet connectors you can connect to you TV/projector, so no extra cables are needed for that. You can also use other HdBT receivers if they have external power supply and support the same DCP as the recommended from Valens. 

HDR and 4K/60 4:4:4 video content requires data rates exceeding 10 Gbps and up to 18 Gbps – a significant challenge for extending signals over HDBaseT. 

The Pulse-Eight Ultra Receiver (P8-HDBT2-U-RX-SLA) supports the most advanced HDBaseT transmissions available today, supporting HDMI 2.0 (18Gbps) extension when utilising Display Stream Compression (DSC), a visually lossless video compression technology that applies extremely light line-by-line compression that causes no latency. DSC technology is the only HDBaseT “4k60 Type-A” compliant method for enables transmission of HDR and 4K/60 4:4:4 over a single category cable while ensuring the most pristine image quality with zero-latency.

The Pulse-Eight Ultra Receiver (P8-HDBT2-U-RX-SLA) is a HDBaseT “4k60 Type-A” compliant receiver that has been has been tested and approved by Steinway Lyngdorf to work flawlessly with the P300 processor at the highest rates achievable, enabling 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.

The Pulse-Eight Ultra Receiver is, at only 13mm high, the slimmest HDBaseT Class C extension solution on the market, perfect for a discreet installation behind ultra-thin TVs.
