After watching your video, I bought a 1080p / 60 version and I am very pleased. I am sending the signal from the Android Box to the TV on a 30 m long Cat 6 cable. In my opinion, there is no difference compared to a direct connection with an HDMI cable. Thanks for this video it was very helpful. Greetings from Poland.
I'm glad it's working out for you!
Thanks very much, just the video I was looking for
Great explanation, I need to replace once’s on my CCTV monitor .
Thank you for the explanation. It was really useful
Great review on this product
I have a question, my tv has a hdmi arc output, does it matter when i use cat5e with that hdmi extender to send audio signal to my Soundbar?
Another great video.
Do you think stranded cable would be bad for a 40ft run using these?
Can this be used via a network switch? Or does the sender and receiver need to be wired direct to each other?
I used this to pipe the video from my server in the basement to my monitor in my office. I then installed a GPU riser so I could connect a full size graphics card to a 1U Dell PowerEdge.
Specs:
2 8 core 3.5 GHz Opteron CPUs
128 GB of DDR3 RAM
256 GB SSD (OS)
1 TB SSD (storage)
GTX 1060 6 GB GPU
2k Dell Display
I’ll upgrade to the 4k version of this extender in the future. But the proof of concept works.
This would be perfect for connecting a ceiling mounted 1080p projector.
I have a setup that has two power bricks but my receiver usually runs fine without using it. Would it make my picture sharper and snappier if I were to have it also powered? I'm using it for a computer and it can do 4k/60
If I run Cat6 cable just a 30’ run, do I even need this unit or can I simple wire the Cat6 directly to a HDMI jack?
I used an extender that looks just like this but without the PWAY logo. Used with cheap and nasty CAT5E. Worked fine over 30m to a splitter/duplicator that then sent another 10m to one unit and 3m to another. Trying a much longer cable didn't work - the picture broke up. You might make it to 50m with good CAT6 cable but I don't have any.
i would like to connect my PC to a TV over this but i was not sure what you said about sound.. would i hear sound on my tv or not ?
I'm going to mount my TV on a wall using HDMI plates on each end, so I can hide the cables in the wall, a total of 6 feet. Will I notice a lot of video lost doing this. Thanks
My projector is 1080p 60hz can i use these on ps5? I dont wqnt to move the ps5 from my desktop to there each time lol
can the ethernet cable plug into a switch ?
One sender to a switch and multiple receiver?
I have 2 questions, incase someone did not have a long ethernet cord or long hdmi cord.
(1) So would this be able to run through my router from the source, and I connect the destination through a wireless ethernet adapter?
(2) Would this also work through a powering adapter?
Iam also very curious . Iam planning using powerline adapters for this ( only 20 meters apart )
Hello! My son’s PC didn’t come with an ethernet port. It has 1 HDMI and 2 USB ports only. What connectors/adapters combination can I use to provide a CAT5/6 wired internet connection to his laptop at a distance of 5 meters from the router?
Ethernet to usb, can also use a dock
hmmm...............interesting. Worth buying just to put in the gadget box to solve a problem that doesn't yet exist. I see they do a similar USB extender, any chance you can test this too in the future? And btw, nice video mate :)
Post a link to the other smaller extender, and I won't make any promises, but I won't rule it out, either! :)
Thanks for watching!
@@LowDoughTech amzn.to/2RiHPdz (my bad, not a PWAY product)
I have one question, the signal can pass through the network switch with IGMP enabled?
I don't think this device is designed to be passed through a switch, it's a direct run.
In theory, could you hook up an hdmi hub (multip hdmi inputs, 1 hdmi output) to this and run it through Ethernet to the tv and then switch between input at will?
It should work. There is no difference between a hdmi source and hdmi switcher.
Have you tested it through a patch panel? That is, patch cable from hdmi sender to wall, wall cable to patch panel, patch cable at panel feeding to other wall socket, wall cable to destination socket, then patch cable from wall socket to receiver? All cable cat 6 and tested. I found in my tests, with a competitor version of this, that it failed and would only work if the cat 5 cable is continuous with a plug on each end.
Too bad you didnt get an answer. I want to do this with my PC to the house router then to the TV.
@@KarvidSR It definitely won't go via a router or switch. It uses the 8 connectors in its own way and is not HDMI over IP. I'm surprised that it didn't work through a patch panel as all connectors should just go straight through - that's the whole point of such cabling, so any use you want can be made of the 8 connectors - e.g. serial link for router 'console cable'. I'd better try that arrangement myself!
Funny fact about the HDMI cable spec. You will sometimes even see Ethernet printed on some cables.
Great video mate, but would be better if you also inform the length using the international system. Aka meters.
1 meter is around 3 feet
CAT5e or CAT6 - or does it matter?
one clarification question i have is... my house is fully wired with Cat 5 which is mainly used for internet fed to each TV in my house. will this set up in the video use existing Cat 5 or will it require dedicated Cat 5 between the HDMI extenders? can i use an ethernet switch to connect into my home network that the HDMI extender is connected to, in order to get the image on a TV??
You can use the lines that are in place, but it won't go through a switch. The signal doesn't get routed like a packet would.
@@LowDoughTech thank you.... based on what you responded with I'm thinking this will not work. i have to be able to use an ethernet switch so i can have the flexibility to view my home security system on any TV in my house but also view it on an app via my phone. i ordered the product and got it delivered earlier today and it does not work with any configuration i use.
@@LowDoughTech Thank you for this clarification. My house is also fully wired with ethernet and I was also wondering whether it would work with a switch in the middle. Now I'm wondering if it would be possible to use an ethernet splitter in one of the outlets to be able to connect both a switch (to provide internet connection to other devices), and one of these HDMI over Ethernet devices (that way the HDMI signal would not have to go through the switch). Would this setup work?
@@lafleurg1 thanks for the update and trial Greg, good to know
I know this is late but, @@albertomartin101 no it won't work through a switch. But if you locate the 2 CAT5 cables on the switch, unplug them, and then use a "CAT5 coupler" to connect them together, it will work (if the length of cable is not to far). And using an ethernet splitter won't work because the device uses more than 2 pairs of wires for video/audio/power.
Proper quality comparison Original Vs Transported was provided in this video. How can we see whether Audio or Video is compressed and how much. What is lag introduced by this device? I am shocked by the poor quality of this video that was Nr. 1 proposal from youtube
I wonder if you can run this to a network switch and then to another tv
same question came up on my side
Hey bud I have to extend 520' and cant find one to do so. Thanks for any out put.
Look into SDI sets. Made by black magic design.
Can i just Ask...what is the Point of this hardware? I can just buy a HDMI cable run it from my pc to my Tv and a USB cable to attach my Pc? This hardwarw does not Etend Anything? You still need to buy a 30m ethernet cable as the two boxes needbto be connected?
I think Cat cable is more efficient with long distances compared to HDMI.
if ethernet can carry video,can there be a computer display with no hdmi cable but ethernet port,....work?
Theoretically, but it would have to be a monitor that contains the hardware for converting the signals.
Specialty monitors get super expensive really fast, so the external adapter is a much more viable option for consumers and small businesses.
I need this to bring image from my computer in the living room to my monitor in the office. However I need an USB port as well for getting keyboard and mouse working in the office.
Is there any hub like this with also contain USB alongside with HDMI? I only need 1080p
I don't know of any devices that do HDMI and USB in a single device, USB over cat 5 devices do indeed exist. You would just need to run two separate devices. It's probably not the most ideal answer, but it will accomplish what you want to do.
@@LowDoughTech
Thx for ansewring!
I've found some KVM extenders in which you can set up two USB devices mainly Keyboard and Mouse + HDMI over cat6 or optical fiber, but now I have another problem, I need to make sure I can use this USB port to connect my C920 webcam
Yes KVM transmitter and receiver is what you need. They are pricey $$ tho
Hi there, great review here.
Is it possible to use a touchscreen with it?
only if the receiving unit has touchscreen enabled.
@@harrishussain6045 yeah, I was thinking on connecting the transmitter on the computer and the receiver on the screen. My computer allows to have touchscreen
Can this be used through a network switch?
I would say no. The signal here isn't a network signal.
can you plug these into a router and use multiple screens to one hdmi out? this is for a bar.
You’ll need an HDMI switch. Combine the two and you’ll be able to connect multiple devices to one TV with an extended cable run.
I.E. Blu-ray player, Cable box, and karaoke machine connected to one TV on the wall. The beautiful part is that you’d be able to switch between the hdmi sources without unplugging a cable and switching it. Very helpful for ceiling mounted projectors or hard to reach TVs.
@@userhandle3378 He wants to know the opposite: one hdmi input, several hdmi output (3-4 TV). That's why he mentioned the router (router switch).
@@SSintox that’s not a router, that’s an hdmi splitter
I bought this, but I can’t get it going.
For some reason the STA light on the receiver is not on. Do you have an idea what the issue could be?
i have the same issue. Have you found the problem/solution?
@@d3fuzatorul yes, the Ethernet was the problem. For me the cat5e that the camera guy installed wasn’t the best quality. I used a better cat5e wire and it worked.
If that doesn’t work either the transmitter or receiver is faulty.
Hope this helps!
@@MH-sf3oj you got a cat5E copper wire?
@@d3fuzatorul not too sure, I bought it from Amazon.
Did you notice any latency?
There was nothing noticable in my experience.
Can't you just connect the receiver into an AP or another router that is on the same network as the transmitter side?
Very unlikely
I'm not sure if this exact one will allow that but they do advertise on certain listing the capability to have one to many through a switch
Would probably be best to keep the switch you plan on using for this only for this and have no network traffic on it
@@loganclawson1786 ok thanks 👍
How would input for the fire stick at the receiving end work?
I was just using the firestick as an example to display the quality of the HDMI output, it probably wouldn't be used for something like this in most scenarios.
Can I use CAT6e?
Yes, you can use CAT6e with no problems.
can you game on this? no delay?
When trying it with the Xbox 360 I didn't notice any perceivable delays that would impact game play, but please bear in mind I'm not a hard core video gamer. To me it seems the same as when running it directly through an HDMI cable.
Everyboady has question. Mine is: Without inserting the ethernet cable to receiver, yes, can we just insert into a computer/laptop ethernet port and use the laptop screen as a monitor of another device??? For example: PS4/PS5 --> HDMI TRANSMITTER--> ETHERNET CABLE--> LAPTOP ETHERNET PORT --> AND USE A SOFTWARE TO GET VIDEO.
No it will not work
@tranquillitymedia still wish if there is any person tried it
@@myZAN You can use a capture card then use this device and plug into a HDMI capture card to your laptop.
youtubes board of directors needs to be purged
Just because it uses RJ45 doesnt make it ethernet. Its not using the ethernet protocol. Ethernet is a protocol. Not a cable.
I don’t find this being any types of useful tbh. Maybe if your tv doesn’t have a Ethernet port but other than that I feel like it’s just extra steps that aren’t needed
i do, i’ve got my pc at the other end of the room (out of sight) and don’t want to run an hdmi cable through my room (on the floor) my mouse and keyboard do work over the distance - having wireless hdmi would be better but it’s not supporting 4k
btw the room is big, with ethernet at each side within the walls (as it’s constructed 2021) so i’ve got less cables and might use this for my specific case
