Using just one CAT6 cable, Ethereal’s new HDM-CAT6SC system is able to fully support the bandwidth needed to access all of the new features of HDMI 1.4A enabled electronics (except Ethernet). The system can use a Cat 5/6/7; a Cat 6/7 is preferred.

The HDM-CAT6SC changes include TMDS re-clocking correction on both Tx and Rx. The unique addition of video detection indicators on both Tx and Rx allows the user to visually monitor the TMDS digital video at both the transmitter and the receiver. This now enables video diagnostics on both the transmitter and receiver – making it easy to diagnose video problems.

The DDC Diagnostics features new and improved HDCP and EDID analysis and troubleshooting. This provides another way to monitor and detect a response visibly for HDCP keys and the EDID plug-and-play screen information. In addition, the system features HotPlug Detect Verification as part of the HDMI start up system. Without it the system will not function. Again, a visible indicator verifies that HotPlug Detect took place.

Other features include:
• Supports full 340MHz/3.4Gbps HDMI 1.4 (without Ethernet).
• 100-feet with hopping capabilities for up to 4 times the distance.
• Fully capable for 3D, 4K 2K, and Deep Colour.
• Reverse Audio (AEC).
• 5 Volt supply, located on transmitter.
• Infrared from display to source.
• 39dB overall gain available: A proprietary system measures and corrects video losses over the entire Cat 5/6 length. No need to be concerned about how much correction is used; the HDM-CAT6SC has its own intelligence.
