Does this work on the Physical Layer or Data Link layer? I have a device which uses ethernet to transmit video, the signal has to remain unchanged.

Physical layer! It is as though you had a physical wire from point a to point b. I monitor video from an IP camera(s) on the other end.

I am using it for IPTV, It acts like an eithernet cable, it does nothing to the data i can see. I have IPTV and Interent going accross the link and they both work fine. Works like a bridging interface.

From the description "Designed to convert HDMI signal to standard TCP/IP and transmit by internet cable or LAN. With the advantage of TCP/IP standard".I would be surprised if they go all the way to M-JPEG image compression, packeting through TCP/IP and in the end not able to run through a router on the same LAN. It should even be able to run through Internet given enough bandwidth. But again I don't have thise device, so anyone actually tried can give an answer please?

It does not have any way to access video other than Ethernet or WiFi. Unless you have a smart TV with supporting apps, it won't work.

I also thought this might work before I bought it, but as other commentators mentioned, it doesn't. The extenders just transport raw, layer-1 TMDS and DDC signals on the available pins of a Cat-5e or Cat-6 cable, and they don't convert the signal to a layer-2 Ethernet frame that a network switch could understand. But if you can lay some relatively flat (low-thickness) Ethernet cables under your carpet, this solution may be better than some of the IP-based alternatives, like the "StarTech.com IPUSB2HD2 HDMI over IP Extender with Audio," which seems to output a grainy, VGA-quality picture at any length of a cable run.

I do not have connected to any video streaming just audio. I would say yes if you have a pure gigabit router and Internet pipe. The switch lights show yellow if you do not have the gig pipe and green if you do. HTH

IThat'd the model I used it with. While it works, the external video only worked a prin of the time. It was so finicky that I abandoned this and more just use a usb hub with network adapter and hdmi to monitor. Cheaper solution that works all the time.

Thanks for the link. Interesting. I'm just going to have to get the WET and test it. I find it intriguing that when in DHCP mode the devices plugged into it were assigned the same IP. That would point towards the WET doing NAT. If you just want to give your media center devices connectivity (so that they can access your network and the internet) that won't matter. But if you want to contact your media center devices from elsewhere on the network it could be a problem.But everything's so ambiguous in the stuff I've seen online I think the only way to know for sure is to buy it and try it out.

Ethernet does not come into play. The Extenders do use two Cat 6 cables, so the confusion is understandable. There is no latency, no delays, and no degradation of the video quality.

I am not sure. I used it as an extension to connect my printer to my computer. I am not sure if video signals will be transmitted successfully.

I don't know. I connected a CAT5 cable to my device as part of my install and didn't test the HDMI cable for ethernet. The cable does a great job with video and audio. The HDMI specification states that it will transfer data up to 100 mb/sec, so you could give it a try.

I haven't tried this but as long as your PC is setup for video sharing, it should work. I can see my home network when setting up the dongle.

Working Good with my Airport Extreme, I did have to up the Multicast mode to High on the Airport to stream 1080p mkv files over the wireless. Been working great ever since I did that.

No, this is just a switch that connects multiple Ethernet devices to a single feed. If you connect it to a computer with software that can record the video from one or multiple sources then you could create a system that records but this switch would be just one part of a total system.

Doubt if this will help for your use but I use this to plug an ethernet line (via USB) into my google TV 'box'. I just plugged it in and it worked (no drivers or configuration needed). The google OS apparently sees it as native or the fact it is plugged into USB provides auto conversion from ethernet.

All I know is the signal is by the included cables from receiver to a monitor. I don't know of any way to catch the wireless signal from camera to another device. My model is not intended for internet or cell use.

I'd say it's worth a try. It sends both audio and video for me. It does glitch sometimes, but I have a work-around. I use it to split the signal from a 3x1 HDMI switch (Sat Receiver, Blu-ray player, and Roku box) to send it to two Coby HDTVs. I have a Redmere HDMI cable in one of the runs. This setup works--it sends both Video and Audio quite well. However... Sometimes (but not always) I have to turn my source off and then back on to get a proper HDMI handshake. Sometimes the initial handshake sends video, but not audio. Sometimes it works perfectly on the first attempt. But the second attempt (when needed) always works. It's kind of weird...

Hello Richard, The Ethernet component does not affect the Audio or Video. This is a built-in feature that would allow you to utilize Ethernet sharing via HDMI ports if your devices support this. As of right now, there are no devices on the market that support this function but the idea is that if you have internet access using your BluRay player, then you could share that internet access with your smart TV if both the smart TV and the BluRay player supported Ethernet sharing via HDMI. This would eliminate the need for additional WiFi connections or a separate Ethernet cable to the TV. But again, this is not currently being used in today's devices to my knowledge. It was included in the latest HDMI specification and so our cable has the ability.
