jamesc4 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Hello.. This is not a Control4 question.. I wanted to see what you guys think as many of you are very experienced... I have a Apple TV 4K and having an issue extending video with the below Balun.. I was told to turn off HDR on the Apple TV but even when that’s off it still does not transmit video. https://secure.libertycable.com/product_details.php?pitem=DL-HD70LS&navid=6911 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonic30101 Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 Do other devices work? Can you set it to a lower resolution to test? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lippavisual Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 4K60Hz @ 4:2:0 is the max for that balun set over a 120' cable limit. Have you set the resolution properly on the ATV? Have you tried other sources over that kit? Have you tested your CAT cables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesc4 Posted April 18, 2018 Author Share Posted April 18, 2018 Hi-- I can get a FIOS Cable Box to work fine over this Balun (But that is 1080P) I didn't lower the Apple TV to 1080P Yet, but it was on 4K SDR and that didn't work, I tried different 4K Formats and nothing worked. I did however try an older Apple TV which is 1080P and that did work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home Theater Advisors Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 The 4K Apple TV is a bandwidth hog. You are likely to have issues with it with any extender. We have had it not work on hdr with a key digital 18.2gbps hdmi Switch and with a Marantz sr 6012. Roku is the way to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraydonH Posted April 18, 2018 Share Posted April 18, 2018 I have had success extending apple tv 4k with this. Also high quality 50' HDMI cables (copper) work fine as well. https://www.avproconnect.com/ac-ex40-444.html It is likely 2-3x more cost than the liberty linked in original post.

I lower Apple TV to 1080P SDR 60HZ and still no video. I ordered one of those Baluns thanks for the input. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jragan Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 A new generation of HDBASET devices have come to market in the last few months that really move the ball forward on UHD + HDR + ARC support over long distances using new tech from Valens. Specifically, check out the latest NEO devices from Pulse Eight who is a top-ten chip purchaser from Valens.Also, any non-active HDMI cable over 25-feet isn’t going to support full UHD specs and chroma and HDR.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
