Ethernet becoming more common in HDMI cablesCreated: 10/8/2010 11:07:46 AMMore consumer devices, such as high-definition televisions and blu-ray players, are beginning to integrate IP technologies into their essential infrastructure. Previously, consumers had to address this performance upgrade through increased wiring by connecting an Ethernet cord from their router to the device. With new high-speed Ethernet-enabled HDMI cables, the extra wire is being removed.
A number of
computer cable manufacturers have announced new cords to meet the High Speed + Ethernet standard for HDMI cables. These wires are cable of carrying audio, video and internet signals through the cord and onto an IP enabled device.
As is fairly standard in high-quality HDMI cables, many of these cords contain a copper interior wire with a gold-plated connector at each end.
These advanced HDMI wires are also able to stretch current boundaries in high-definition video and digital audio. New standards in HDMI can transmit video signals at resolutions beyond 1080p. They are also capable of matching the requirements of high-performance Dolby surround sound systems while carrying Ethernet signals at speeds over 10G.
HDMI cables with Ethernet connectivity are quickly becoming the expectation for high-quality home media centers. The new cables can be ideal for connecting satellites, cable boxes, computers and other media players to plasma, LCD and LED televisions.
