HDMI Extenders, Long HDMI the Right Way!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 жов 2022
- HDMI was never intended to go more than about 50 feet. So how do you go further? With a bridge. Several products allow you to bridge long distances using Cat 6/7 Ethernet cable and special sending and receiving units. Learn how those work.

Thanks so much...trying to send a hundred foot signal out to an out building on our property and this helped immensely
Great presentation. We have used a similar arrangement at our church for laptop to projector presentations (with a run of 80'-90') for years and it works great. One consideration is that because we are located in FL , we get a lot of lightning so about every year or two we have had to replace the baluns, probably due to nearby lightning strikes. We used cheap ones which may explain something. Next ones are going to have some resistance to surges, etc. Oh, where is description?
Thanks very much, i have been trying to find a solution for our church in Australia
It works but with slight latency
Can the live video feed of this extender from the PTZ Camera be converted to a video signal for OBS via a HDMI Capture Card?
I been trying to install at a restaurant works in office but wont work on job site its a orei
Could I use this with Apple TV ? And have full control of it with I r
Question
I have been using AMX HDMI extenders with CAT5e pinned out to the standard LAN configuration, In leinths under 100 feet
I tried using CAT6 and I can get 1 of 2 data/LAN indication BUT it wont pass the HDMI signal
(The cable tester shows all pins terminated properly)
When dealing with CAT6 is the Pin out different? Most of these HDMI extenders the manufacturer doesn't show the proper pin out
I have noticed over the years that CAT cables two or more pairs have more twists than others
If fiber cable used to extend hdmi ?
Yep! It's called HDBaseT
How much of a delay are we talking about if I just used a really long HDMI cable versus the bridge setup? is it really noticeable?
What cable do you use or does it matter as long as it’s cat6 or 7?
The 20 M/sec delay (latency) between each of the four ports kinda sucks
Will this work for what I’m aiming for? I have a PC and Monitor capable of 1440p 240hz
does it works on a capture card?
So I understand some of the basics but what is the benefit of a Ethernet cable over a HDMI?
What I don't get are these points
* Is Ethernet faster than HDMI (based on the top end specs for eg 2.1 Ethernet / Cat 8 Ethernet)
* Is the HDMI cable more "fragile" over long distance or more susceptible to issues? Has more resistance so drops the single?
* Won't the extra convertors cause an increase in input lag?
For gaming, I get the best thing to do is have a short as possible HDMI. But for extending are you just losing image display speed (input lag) using these convertors?
HDMI cables have a rather short limit on how far you connect with before the signal degrades. So think of the situation presented in the video, laptop that feeds the video screen at the church are beyond the distance that HDMI cable can reach. Ethernet cable has much greater distances it can go versus HDMI before signal/data degrades. Hence, the solution is ethernet with HDMI to ethernet bridge.
Is it capable of 4K 120 hz, as optical Fibre hdmi?
I believe that will require certified HDMI 2.1 optical cables. Ruipro is one of the few brands I can find to be reliable, based on online reviews, but other brands might exist now.
We ran 150 feet of cat 6 cable to some video cameras using cat 6 extenders, and although we get a good signal we got some interference if our phones are close by. This does not happen with a shorter run (30 feet). Do you think that the extenders you recommend would solve that, or do we need to run shielded cable instead? Thanks!
Is the cat 6 for network, NDI, or are you using a different HDMI extender?
@@Foundery it’s connected to a mirorless camera. I’ve tried 3 different extenders and all of them give me similar interference with that length of 150 feet. I haven’t tried the one you recommended. And cat 6 is direct and does not go through a switch only 2 couplers. The only thing that works is an extender that is IP based but it has latency. Thanks!
@@josiahroman1457 These hdmi to rj45 adapters are to much sensible to interference of any kind. Electrical interference or radiofrequency interference (like your phones). And it is nearly imposible to avoid, because 99% of the market are the same chinese electronics with diferent branding. In our setup, we had a similar run and the interference was due to the house lights. Powering on or off the house lights had the signal go black a few seconds and then return has normal. No one other light was giving a problem, just house lights. We tried diferent cables, CAT5, CAT5E, CAT6... UTP, FTP, SFTP... Grounding, not grounding... Separate electrical circuits... diferent power supplies for the adapters... None of that work. The only solution was to change the house lights lo LED (and remove the transformers with them) but at the end, we just switch to IP based extenders. They have a few frames of latency, but not interference at all (and can be run into switches and other IP devices).
I have a PC and a smart tv, and I want to game on the TV in 4K@120Hz , and want to run an in-wall solution, the inwall distance would be around 20ft , what should I do? HDMI fiber optic cable or HDMI over cat6a cable?
what did you go with? I got a cheap fibre optic 25ft cable and so far works wonderfully.
@@liquidsunshine697 did you run the cable in wall? are you getting 4k@120 ? please give the link what cable you are using
youtube doesnt like links but its huaham hdmi its 30$ for 25ft. Didn't run thru wall just taped along it. And I get perfect 4k 120hz HDR. Its awesome but not sure how long itll last.@@kaustavchatterjee366
We use ruipro
These boxes make no sense to me. All distance between 30-300 feet, we use fiber optics HDMI cables. No external power supply, no aditionnal boxes or devices and the cables are so much thinner and lighter, sturdier and even chesaper than your proposed solution. But it’s always good to know what different solutions do exist and if they work, so thanks for the information.
If you can get it cheaper.. but I can't find fiber optic HDMI cheaper than an extender.
Also running an ethernet cable is easier and in some cases it already exists.
I have heard of MM and SM Fiber BUT never HDMI Fiber
Do you have a manufacturer info on that?
which brand of fiber hdmi do you use?
