Cool, there are times that I could see us possibly having to splice a couple RG6's together for retro jobs on the boats.  So it is good to know that it will work in this worst case scenario situation.

I have some Planet Waves cable kicking around, I will bring some home this weekend and try it out.

I'm wondering if we should come up with better name for this kind of signal transfer, and for "HDMI over CAT5" as well.

This system gets an HDMI signal from one place to another, but not via an HDMI cable. Similarly, RF remote control systems get IR from one place to another without wires or light, but we don't call them "Wireless IR" or "Lightless IR," we call them RF systems. We don't call voice radio transmissions "sound without air," either.

Sure, this wiring HDMI system has an HDMI connector at each end, and it meets HDMI specs for video, handshake, etc, but there is no HDMI signal on the RG6. Voice radio communication uses a microphone at one end and a speaker at the other, a case parallel to this one, but it's called radio. And HDMI is a wired connection using HDMI cables with many conductors, HDMI connectors, etc.

If we continue to call this HDMI over RG6, there's no logical reason not to say that some particular piece of RG6 is an HDMI cable. It's carrying an HDMI signal, right?

 I tested the Planet Waves cable.   I had 135 feet left on a roll, so I tried putting BNC connectors on each end.  I was able to view the Oppo screen saver, but as soon as I hit play to watch the bluray disc, the picture cut in and out.   So I decided to cut the cable down to exactly 100 feet.  At 100 feet I had no issues with the signal cutting out.  I had a perfect picture!

We could call it SLTH setup (sucks less than HDMI)
or a NAPOSH (Not a POS HDMI)
;)

HDMI Transport ??

Now that right there is funny!

Over the single conductor 24awg Planet Waves wire?

affirmative.   i was surprised

Can we use that term in our new data sheet or do I have to pay you a copyright fee?

I just ran across the Multimedia over Coax Alliance. It's mentioned on page 90 of the September CEPro; they will be at CEDIA.

Someone please check into what they're doing. Maybe these guys could be, or maybe just want to be, a clearing house for all of these types of products.

So does anyone know if this is compressed? I've been using hdmi over 5coax and single sounds great. but what am giving up?

The unit does use some sort of compression however I can't see a difference between the 5 wire and the single wire. You can find more info via our website.

This is a curios statement in the FAQ:

"Q: Does the HXE-11 work with HD-DVD players?
A: No, the HXE-11 does not handshake or pass any signals from HD-DVD players."

What is different about HDMI on an HD DVD player vs any other source?

that is funny! obviously typo?

man, i didnt realize that product used compression. that stinks. ive got a project with one specced. the idiot that prewired this million dollar condo ran three RG6 coax to the fireplace. we are using a high end flat panel and top notch components, i hate to use anything with compression. may have to look into other options.

Hi,
If appropriate for you you can use HDMI over fiber optic cable extender or HDMI over TCP/IP extender with cat6 data cable, like the ones in this link: [Link: telkolink.com]
