Discuss Hdmi over cat5’s in the Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net
Cheers guys will get the ethernet to hdmi adapters but surely it works in the same way? At the end of the day you've only got 16 cores with 2 cat5s. The ethernet to hdmi must use the same cores to corrospond to the hdmi outlet?
No, the HDMI cable carries an HDMI signal.
The HDMI to ethernet converter converts the HDMI signal to an ethernet data signal, which is transmitted over 2 pairs (4 wires) of the cat 5 cable and then converted back from the data signal to an HDMI signal.
They cheap ones can be troublesome. The ones that convert the signal to data and then back again are the most reliable, the ones that just try to jam the HDMI signal down the cable are not so good. I usually install Cat6 cable where possible as this can also reduce problems.
Probably, but then again you get what you pay for. We were using some from a CCTV supplier about £70 I think, all worked faultlessly. I don't think they list them now though.
What signals are being sent, just from different devices to tvs? or 1 device and multiple tvs?
I rather doubt that, ethernet just doesn't have the bandwidth to carry HDMI - and 1Gbps ethernet uses all four pairs.The HDMI to ethernet converter converts the HDMI signal to an ethernet data signal, which is transmitted over 2 pairs (4 wires) of the cat 5 cable and then converted back from the data signal to an HDMI signal
