I mean they make HDMI over CAT extenders, just get a pair
HD baseT
If only this had taken off in the consumer market.
Imagine a future where video was just ethernet and we didn't have to worry about crappy cables or DRM
AV over IP is the latest trend in the commercial world actually.
Interesting! Is that usually like HDbaseT or SDVoE? Would you recommend it for menus and screens in a bar?
I could see a lot of uses for a product like this for bars and offices I work in, but I would imagine the could might be prohibitive if it's more than a few hundred dollars per unit.

It's been mostly called AVoIP, I don't know if I'd recommend for menus at a bar, it's more of an easy way to change inputs to multiple displays, before with hdbt tx/rx pairs, you had to have either a switcher that had hdbt inputs/outputs (usually limited ports) or all your tx/rx pairs in the rack feeding into a switcher and a control unit telling the switcher to switch. With the avoip, it's just a control unit and arranger connected to the network switch. It's a little slow but it's still developing.
After reading that I thought the 'HDMI Forum' was a literal internet forum of nerds who invented HDMI and didn't want to make it open source for anyone. lol.
HDBaseT is cool, except in my experience the transmit/receive units get WAY hotter than I think make any sense. We used then at my last job for AV solutions, both 'high end' Crestron units and cheap Amazon.com randos - they all got HOT to the touch!
