Please log in for more thread options Jeff, You (although you're nearly as old as I am) seem to really have your finger on the pulse of available networking gear. I'm looking for a low-cost solution to stream 1080p over ethernet cabling. I'd (probably, unless you think not) prefer to have an IP solution, but if there's a low-cost balun solution available, I have some dedicated (well, dedicatable) runs in the plenum to do it. The distance is less than 30 meters. LLoyd | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

>finger on the pulse of available networking gear. Nope. I'm in the repair business this week. Because I only see broken equipment and bugs, I know everything there is to know about things that DON'T work. It's kinda like asking an auto repair shop what car to buy. Find out what cars they work on, and then buy something else. >I'm looking for a low-cost solution to stream 1080p over ethernet

Ummm... what manner of connector or interface is your HDTV using? My guess(tm) would be HDMI. CAT5 is nothing more than 110 ohm cable. No need for IP unless you wanna do it over the internet. For that, get a Streambox or similar device. You'll need an active device to do the job: <http://www.svideo.com/videobalun1.html>
Lots more... Google for "HDMI over CAT5".

My primary reason for wanting to transmit via IP was so that the signal would not suffer losses beyond those inherent in the encoding scheme if the link changed length, number of 'hops' (junction boxes, in this case), etc. In reality, I don't often touch things that are working right; so it probably wouldn't change. The reason for wanting to do it via CAT5 is just to get all the "junk" remote from the wall-hung HD panel. Ideally, it'll all be in a small pivoting credenza between our two lazy chairs.

As long as you don't destroy the digital information in some creative
way, what comes out is exactly the same as what went in. More on extending HDMI. See links at bottom of page: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI_Extender>

My version of Learn By Destroying is that if you haven't destroyed it and repaired it, you don't understand how it works. >The reason for wanting to do it via CAT5 is just to get all the

HDTV is the latest in high tech and has a few years to go before it will be replaced by something better and considered "junk". Anyway, I don't understand what you're trying to accomplish. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
