don't have enough HDMI cables? no problem, this cursed adapter allows you to use two RJ45 instead!
@noiob Apparently HDMI over Ethernet is very much a Thing, but due to the large bandwidth difference it's not a very good Thing.
@onf through *two cables*? for 1,50€?
@noiob Through one cable and for a lot more money. (If only...)
I have no idea what you posted does, surely not what I just described, but those do exist.
@noiob What's interesting about the IP ones is that since they use IP, you could connect it to any PC and use it as a receiver, turning it into a really crappy (but cheap by those standards) capture card.
@onf okay that's cool
@noiob Gives me hope that by the time we get the next Ethernet standard (10gb?) it'll be fast enough that we can just send uncompressed HD video over IP. Very silly, but useful.
@noiob What I'm saying is that a lot of these adapters cheat and have a little chip inside that compresses the video so it can be transmitted via IP NETWORKING. And realtime compression on something of that size with its power limits is of course, really bad.
