HDMI over IP is ‘Game Changing’

Sorry I was out a couple days, and right during one of the largest shows of the year, CEDIA. Fear not, I’ll do my best to get everyone caught up. Here’s a cool technology that was announced, allowing you to distribute video over IP for HDMI. Pretty cool barring any revisions to the HDMI spec that would limit the features here.

The signal routing to each end point can be adjusted by controlling the network switch VLAN configuration via RS-232 or Ethernet. If a client wants to add another PS3 to the system just add another Encoder and set it up on the network. CI know that Netstreams developed a component-over-IP solution a while ago and it is very cool. It’s also very expensive. Just Add Power’s device for HDMI encoding is $299 and for decoding is $250. Add a managed switch and you are paying HDMI balun prices for an ever-expandable HDMI matrix switch!
