A media-enabled home - connect multiple HD devices over long distances along
If you have more than one high-definition (HD) compatible HD-enabled televisions and more "toys" you can have just a way to link them all together. The high definition really make a difference, especially on large screens worth the extra cost and is usually found. But the question is how do you connect all these devices together, making full use of its HD capabilities.
One way to do this is to use an array HDMI. These are available in different configurations, but theThe most common are 4x2 and 4x4, which means 4 inputs and 2 outputs and 4 inputs and 4 outputs. An array that allows you to connect any input device, each output device. Not only that, but you can also use any combination of input and output. For example, you can have 4 TVs and 2 boxes of all makes, a matrix that allows a field of 3 infrared TV and the rest of the sky box to connect to another TV.
A matrix with HDMI HDMI connections mean that you are using HDMI cables are limited,can only be used up to 15 meters without repeaters. This does not give you much more freedom in placing the devices around the house, especially if they are located in separate rooms or devices to run cables along the walls, to keep things in order. Along the HDMI cables are also quite expensive, especially those that want a decent quality.
Another option is an HDMI over CAT5 cable is able to use arrays. This gives you the opportunity to send high-definition signals via standard CAT5 cable network -which is far more convenient than the HDMI cable. These devices can also transmit 1080p over a distance of 50 meters! That should be enough for most families. You can also use a line in the module repeater that extends the distance up to 100 meters.
There may be transferred and newer devices, the HDMI-over-IP. Remember that this is not the same HDMI over CAT - which is basically just involved with the CAT-cable as cable without any network protocol.
HDMI-over-IPThe devices are really great in their specifications. They allow transfer cable lengths up to 1000 meters and able to access up to 200 devices compatible with all the features of a standard Ethernet infrastructure.!
Not surprisingly, this power comes at a price and these devices much more expensive than the HDMI only units so it's good, some measurement before purchase to make one of two. However, this relatively new technology is so sure prices will fall in due course.
