Hi Just thought I would give this a go and dived in and bought one of these extenders. Initially it worked but very high latency about 1.5 seconds. Was not pleased but thought it might be the cable. The cable I was testing with was some what nondescript. Got some Cat 6 UTP cable, about a 1 meter and sure enough that fixed the latency. Then tried with Cat 5e abouth 5 meters and that worked ok. Will try longer length later this week. Canon XA20 @50p > HDMI Tx -> Ethernet -> HDMI Rx -> Avermedia U3 -> Laptop Anyway just thought I would put it out there. Ash attached the following image(s):  HDMI-Ethernet.png (976kb) downloaded 19 time(s).You cannot view/download attachments. Try to login or register.

We have used these in the past as well, and still carry them as a backup solution. Ours are going up to 30 meters with 2 good cables. It's a reliable solution, but it looks a bit crappy to clients. Also for longer lengths you can't use it. That's why we went for SDI, we can now go easily 100 meter and have perfect signal over a single and more sturdy cable. If you consider the price of these units and the price of 2 utp cables, it's almost always cheaper to go for SDI converters I think.

I would be reluctant to use these over about 30mtrs. We used two of these to carry vMix output to plasma screens in our theatre venue - anything above 1024*768 at 30mtrs and you run into issues with the screens refusing to display a steady image.

We tried several cheap 30 meter utp's and saw some kind of digital signal noise appear.
