On line system worked well

Did not work for my application

I purchased this product with a matching receiver to connect a laptop to a projector. I ran shielded cat 6 cable (150ft) from the laptop to the projector. When trying to connect the laptop, I could see the projector name in my options dropdown but when I selected the projector, nothing happened. I understand they are directional. HDMI OUT was going to the projector and HDMI IN was coming from my laptop. The projector could not find a signal. All lights on units indicated a connection. I tried powering things off and on and tried a bluray player thinking perhaps it was my laptop. The projector never detected a signal. I thought perhaps it was an issue with HDCP but the manual says these support HDCP. Maybe these don't work over Cat 6? In the end I tried a similar unit by a different manufacture (of lesser quality in my opinion). Same cabling, same laptop, same projector, and that unit did the trick. Before writing this review I tried the units one last time to be fair. I used a cat 5 cable about 20ft long and connected it to an HDTV. It appears they will work with this combination. So they get 2 stars instead of 1. This is my 4th time having to use HDMI over cat 5/6 cable. All applications have been with different manufacturers and all have developed issues. 3 previous will experience drop outs in signal, this unit didn't work for the application required.

See any errors on this page?

question

Can I use this device as HDMI extender over cat6 to get picture from cable box and ir extender to control a cable box?
Asked by: Anonymous
That should be possible. This HDBaseT Transmitter and Receiver set is HDCP complaint, which is necessary for it to work with a cable box. It also can extend IR over the Cat6 cable.

How important is shielded cable? I'm wondering about our existing unshielded 250ft cat6 run.
Asked by: Zachary
Shelled cables are recommended as they will help protect against any potential power surges when connected to the Kramer TP-580TXR Extended Range HDBaseT Twisted Pair Transmitter, but they are not required.

Is the receiver required? I'm running directly to a projector that accepts HDbaseT as an input.
Asked by: Seth
In theory, the Kramer TP-580T HDBaseT Twisted Pair Transmitter should produce the signal and not need the receiver.

Does this unit always require a power cable? Or could it be powered with a PoE/PoH receiver?
Asked by: Zachary
The Kramer TP-580TXR Extended Range HDBaseT Twisted Pair Transmitter does not support POE powering and would require the use of its included power supply.

question

is the extender IP based? is it able to be fed through a switch in its own VLAN? or does it have to be a direct connection on both ends?
Asked by: Shahed E.
It is not IP traffic, it is HDbaseT over ethernet cable. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDBaseT
