It's power, and it is delivered via an ethernet cable, but that's where the resemblance ends. Various non-compliant solutions like this are commonly known as 'passive PoE'.	Erayd (23)

When I was doing AV work, my company used something similar to this: www.rapalloav.co.nz The downsides being that it needed powering at both ends and you couldn't add any sort of image processing into the mix. As soon as you connect through say an amplifier before it reaches the TV / projector, you get conflicts, which = different coloured 'spots' speckled through the picture.	pine-o-cleen (2955)
1117166	2010-07-09 08:51:00	I wounder, as you can send a Ethernet signal over power cables using two little boxes, I wounder if you could stream video around your home like that too? speeds are reasonable, around 200mb/s	The Error Guy (14052)
1117167	2010-07-09 09:13:00	The problem with the current HDMI over ethernet cables is the limited distance, usually 30-40M max. I've had problems with some things only working up to 10-15M.	CYaBro (73)
1117168	2010-07-10 06:28:00	What sort of protocol will they use to run this? standard networking or I wounder if it will be an Ethernet shaped plug covered with gold and platinum that exchanged the pins on HDMI for the pins on Ethernet	The Error Guy (14052)
