PW-DT243 HDMI Extender over IP 150m/492ft 150m Transmission via Cat5e/6/7/8 Network Cable Support Local Loopout and 1 to Multiple Transmission Through the Gigabit Network Switch

Recent home renovations allowed me to run cat 6 Ethernet cables from every room in the house to a nice tidy network switch. Idea was to give me the option of internet wired to every room or multi room entertainment via hdmi distribution. I tested the internet and it worked fine so it was time to get this bit of kit and try multi room distribution.I’ve seen this done with digital tv boxes so long as there is an hdmi output from the box you are aiming to distribute the signal from. In short, it works! It works very well!The transmitter has its own loop feature. So you don’t need a splitter, just an extra hdmi cable to run the signal back into the tv you predominately use. It acts as a splitter in its own capacity. Then the cat 6 cable output connects to your destination/network/switch. As I have wallplates in each room, I had to purchase additional Ethernet cables for this.I use it for my PS5 as I enjoy gaming but use it as my main central entertainment device in my lounge for the tv/film apps. I am now able to distribute the signal around the network. So I can go to any room in my house and watch what’s on the ps5 as long as I connect a receiver to the destination tv. And you can buy multiple receivers if you need to. So if I put sport on downstairs, I can watch it upstairs for example.The bonus for me is that my ps5 controller and headset is still in range when I go upstairs, so I am able to control the ps5 that’s downstairs. I can play on the upstairs tv with no lag and no interference on screen! Ideal for both gaming and viewing if I’ve been kicked out of the lounge!If you’re looking at using this for a tv box, it will work the same way but you may need to check the range of the remote control and the signal type it uses to make sure you can control it from the destination. PS5 is bluetooth so as long as the controller and console are in range it works. You can get similar products that has an infrared receiver attached to it so that you can send the remote signal down the cable (like the old sky magic eye) but I haven’t used this version so can’t comment on the performance quality.For those simply looking to split and distribute the signal between origin and secondary destination via Ethernet cable, this is ideal! From this point onwards the opportunities only increase!For those wondering, no, this doesn’t give you the option to watch a different channel to the box in the other room. It will just repeat the signal. So if someone changes the channel in the other room, it will change in yours too!

Used these items for a school production.Worked perfectly for a week.Put them in the box. Used them two years later. Both items had failed.The chips inside them must be very poor quality.I DO NOT RECOMMEND

I was looking for a solution to see PayTV not only in the living room but also in the room on an alternative TV. Clearly at no cost since I used the existing subscription.This solution, while being simple, works well and has fully met my expectations. Also as signal quality!!!

I have a few different HDMI extenders in my home, these are directly connected via Cat6 cable and work OK, I liked the look of this one as it shows that it can be connected to an existing network using a switch, this was what I have been looking for, I thought finally I wouldnt need to pull another Cat6 cable between the 2 boxes. I plug it in and it says no HDMI input, I have tried numerous gigabit switches couldnt get it to work on any of them, I tried directly connecting the boxes and it worked fine so after being defeated I made up another cat 6 cable and fished it through the wall.Very disappointed but got the projector sorted in the end.

I bought this extender to send a Sky Q signal around my home, so first thing's first:1. No this is not the same as a "cat5 HDMI extender" which look identical but do not work over a network2. Yes this does work with Sky Q3. Yes this does support HDCP eg. netflix4. Yes this does work over an existing home network eg. via routers and switches (read on for detail)5. Yes this does work over powerlines6. The transmitted resolution is 1080p but this also means less network traffic which is a good tradeoff7. No there is no IR passthrough but a Sky Q remote is bluetooth so works all over the house8. There is no perceptible latency/delay, unlike RF modulatorsThe above is with Caveats which I needed additional equipment (see below) to resolve:1. Local HDMI loopback has voice sync issues2. Local HDMI loopback only supports 1080p resolution requiring sky box to only output 1080p to local TV3. Local HDMI loopback does not pass through HDMI CEC so TV can no longer switch to the correct channel automatically or turn the sky box on4. The kit requires AC power which is annoying as it requires an additional socket, plus less peace of mind when leaving plugged in5. While the transmitter works fine over my home's existing wired ethernet to a switch then back to my router, my network speeds suffered due to the large amount of multicast trafficHow I resolved the above issues:1,2,3. I bought the following HDMI splitter https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0997SQWNS - this supports CEC 4K output to HDMI 1 (which went to my local TV) and 1080p output to HDMI 2 (which went to the transmitter) - the built in loopback is now unused and this solved issues 1,2 and 3 for me.4. I bought the following USB to DC power cable https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B009JXJITS - the transmitter and receivers are now powered by the USB ports in the TV and power down when the TV is turned off5. I bought a set of powerlines to separate the traffic from my home network https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01N3YCC7R - this is not strictly necessary but saved me upgrading my router to something that could handle the traffic and allows me to reach any room without an ethernet jackSo my end setup ended up as:Sky Q 4k output -> HDMI splitter -> port 1 outputs 4K CEC to my local TV -> port 2 outputs 1080p to transmitter powered by USB cable -> transmitter connected to powerlineReceiver powered by USB cable -> connected to powerline -> input to bedroom TVGeneral comments:- Picture quality is excellent although I had to turn my receiving TV over to PC mode in order to remove the post processing judder that the TV added itself - there is no judder from the device itself- Latency is zero to the human eye - it's close to unbelievable, especially compared to RF modulators which add a half second delay- I noticed a dropped frame here and there when plugged into my sky router - this is due to the poor router rather than the transmitter and powerlines resolved the issue for me (as would a better router probably)- I turned off auto TV power on in sky q settings so my living room tv doesn't turn on when i use sky upstairs
