HDMI Over Ethernet With Netgear GSS108E & VLAN Tagging
I am looking to transmit both the USB and HDMI of my PC to the living room TV. I am aware you can stream the PC image but I wish for a pure signal.
I have the following USB over ethernet extend...
Happy to help and I just realized I didn't look up your USB Extender. It turns out this USB kit is NOT IP, it speaks again another (proprietary) language and it's not meant to leverage an Ethernet network. So you're back to:
- The HDBase-T kit that you have selected will use its own, dedicated LAN cable. You must have one independent CAT5e, CAT6 or better LAN cable available between your PC and your TV. In fact, the HDBase-T transmitter (PC side) will send the video from your PC to the HDBase-T receiver (TV side) using a LAN cable in between. This LAN cable cannot go through a switch or anything else, it must be entirely dedicated and straight between the Tx and the Rx.

In fact, the USB transmitter (PC side) will send the USB signals from your PC to the USB receiver (TV side) using a LAN cable in between. This LAN cable cannot go through a switch or anything else, it must be entirely dedicated and straight between the Tx and the Rx. Again.
Net net: you must have two dedicated LAN cables available between your PC and your TV. I originally thought you selected USB-over-IP technology, but you did not.
At this stage, your Ethernet Switch location, usage, and availability don't matter because none of your Audio/Video/USB transport products are Ethernet-based. The title of your post should be understood as HDMI and USB over proprietary extenders because nothing here is actually over-IP.
Regards,
Thankyou for your incredibly detailed and useful reply.
Option 3 whilst ideal, is cost prohibitive for this usage scenario, but I appreciate you pointing this option out. This leaves option 1 and 2.
1 further question / Clarification:
Could I have:
1 CAT7 Cable with Switch for the PC & the USB/KVM over ethernet extender or does the same rule apply
1 Cat7 Cable for HDBase-T kit
If 1 CAT7 would work for the PC and USB/KVM do I need 2 new switches or just 1?, I have a single switch in the living room but this is being used.
Your help is greatly appreciated and will help me decide wether or not to lay another CAT7.
