HDMI over Ethernet is a technology that allows HDMI audio and video signals to be transmitted over standard Ethernet cables or local area networks (LANs). It enables the extension of HDMI signals beyond the typical maximum cable length limitations.
The HDMI over Ethernet system typically consists of two main components: a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter converts the HDMI signal into a data stream for transmission over an Ethernet. The receiver is connected to the display or television at the receiving end. It decodes the data stream and converts it back to an HDMI signal for viewing.
HDMI over ethernet offers longer cable runs than standard HDMI cables, allowing you to extend the HDMI signal over a much greater distance. This is useful in larger spaces, such as conference rooms and auditoriums, as well as in home theater setups.
The Ocean Matrix OMX-HDMI-2-IP converter and ethernet extender sends HDMI over a local area network (LAN) by first converting the signal from HDMI to TCP/IP. One transmitter can pair with up to 8 receivers over one network with a VLAN switch. Includes transmitter, receiver, and two 5VAC/DC switching power supplies.
