Interesting! Is that usually like HDbaseT or SDVoE? Would you recommend it for menus and screens in a bar?
I could see a lot of uses for a product like this for bars and offices I work in, but I would imagine the could might be prohibitive if it’s more than a few hundred dollars per unit.
It’s been mostly called AVoIP, I don’t know if I’d recommend for menus at a bar, it’s more of an easy way to change inputs to multiple displays, before with hdbt tx/rx pairs, you had to have either a switcher that had hdbt inputs/outputs (usually limited ports) or all your tx/rx pairs in the rack feeding into a switcher and a control unit telling the switcher to switch. With the avoip, it’s just a control unit and arranger connected to the network switch. It’s a little slow but it’s still developing.
After reading that I thought the ‘HDMI Forum’ was a literal internet forum of nerds who invented HDMI and didn’t want to make it open source for anyone. lol.
HDBaseT is cool, except in my experience the transmit/receive units get WAY hotter than I think make any sense. We used then at my last job for AV solutions, both ‘high end’ Crestron units and cheap Amazon.com randos - they all got HOT to the touch!
I mean they make HDMI over CAT extenders, just get a pair
HD baseT
If only this had taken off in the consumer market.
Imagine a future where video was just ethernet and we didn’t have to worry about crappy cables or DRM

AV over IP is the latest trend in the commercial world actually.
