Review on πŸ”Œ OREI EX-500IR: High-Performance HDMI Extender over Cat5e/6 Ethernet LAN Cable - Up to 500 Feet - Advanced Features: IR, HDMI Loop-out, RS-232, PoC, HDMI Balun by Tyler Kota

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works with Canon C200 but only in 1920x1080p 8bit 4:2:0

I received these extensions for an upcoming event where I need to stream video from a Canon C200 to a remote audience outside the building. These extenders do not work with all HDMI formats, despite the marketing materials saying otherwise. I can't see the signal when the camera is set to 4K HDMI output or when it's outputting 1080P with 10-bit 4:2:2. I had to reconfigure the camera to output 1080P 8bit 4:2:0 before it finally worked. Unfortunately I don't have time to return them as the event is this week but I'll probably return them after the event and try another brand. I have a field monitor and I have verified that the HDMI signal from the C200 is working properly with the field monitor so I know it is not an HDMI port, camera or cable. The good news is that I was able to get a combination of working settings and successfully test sending a 1080P signal at 330ft over a CAT6 outdoor burial STP. Cable.

Pros
  • Audio and Video Accessories
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
