HDMI stands for High Definition Multimedia Interface. So this HDMI extender is a single cable that transmits video and audio signals over to the television. So your television can be placed be far away isolated from the other accessories. One can use analog cables instead of HDMI extender to connect the components to your television but then there would be a lot of cables. This will prove to be a lot of headache when the wires will get tangled up eventually. That is why it is best to use HDMI extender because there is only one cable.
The purpose of HDMI is to transfer the digital video signal from a source to your television. The cable you use is very likely only a few feet long and rather stiff. It also only allows you to connect to a single device. That means you have to disconnect and reconnect each device you want to use for viewing.
If you want to be able to watch HD video on a set in another room you will need to use an HDMI extender and a Cat5e/Cat6 cable to “extend” the distance. Another option for connecting multiple HDMI LCDs combines the function of an HDMI Extender and a splitter, called an HDMI splitter Extender. Certain commercial and military applications may require extending distances over 900 feet. This requires a fiber optic HDMI extension solution.
How does it work?
All you need to do is to plug one end of the cable to the HDMI converter in the television and the other end to the Blu ray DVR. It is as simple as that. Nowadays everybody uses a high definition television and Blu ray DVR. So using HDMI extender is easiest way. In case you are using an AV receiver, then in that case you will have to put the television in the middle of the chain. One cable will connect the HDTV or high definition television to the AV receiver and another cable will connect the AV receiver to the Blu ray DVR.
Benefits of using a HDMI Extender
The main benefit of using an HDMI extender is that it allows you to put some distance between devices. Prior to this technology, when a person wanted to view a movie using a Blue-Ray DVD player on a television in a different room they couldn’t do it. Their only option was to purchase an additional Blue-Ray DVD player to use in the other room. Now they can use a long range HDMI Extender with cheap, flexible Cat5e/Cat6 cable to make this connection possible.
Of even greater benefit is when they buy an HDMI Splitter Extender to view the same HDMI source on multiple TVs. No more swapping devices.
1. Connect devices over longer distances between devices using an HDMI extender.
2. Connect multiple HD TVs using an HDMI Extender Splitter solution.
