Converting HDMI to IP – Using Extenders

The source's HDMI output has to be converted into a TCP/IP stream which can be

handled by the V1281 and to connect to CAT5e RJ-45 connections (or CAT6). For this

you need an HDMI to IP adaptor (or 'extender). These are available from many

vendors and DrayTek have our own model, the HVE290. Prices vary considerable

depending on features, brand/quality and resolution or picture quality.

A VigorSwitch V1281 might, for example, have two sources (e.g. two satellite

receivers) and eight TVs around the premises, or it might have ten sources and just

two screens – you can have any combination, providing just the right number of

converters/extenders so you're not paying for HDMI ports you don't need – you just

purchase the right number of HDMI-to-IP convertors.

As there are many similar looking products, it is essential is that the HDMI-to-IP

adaptor/extender that you use supports IP. Some devices can send an HDMI signal

over CAT5/CAT6 cable, but using a proprietary method, and not IP or Ethernet. That

type of device will not work with the VigorSwitch V1281 and may even cause damage

so please be sure that the device you connect uses IP and Ethernet

(10/100/1000BaseT). Any additional functions or features, such as IR (infra-red)

pass-through, RS-232 pass-through, HDMI loop-through, maximum resolution or the

type of codec used will depend on your requirements and budget. Also consider

how the extenders are powered and whether you need to rack mount them.
