Perfect for my needs.

I've used this to extend my security camera's monitor along a 200ft CAT6 UTP path and have had no signal or picture quality issues at 1080p. The fact that it has both a local monitor and an extension was perfect for my needs. I also appreciated the fact that I only need power at one end. In general, an oriental ambience and an excellent solution. Thank you Orei This is my first purchase of your products but I will be back.

Pros
  • Free for educational purposes
Cons
  • So So

Beware. Featured in Accessories and Consumables

I originally bought an Orei EX-165C and couldn't get a signal (orange light). When I called tech support they said I needed to buy this upgraded model to get better signal quality (although I only go 75ft). I bought this device and the same. I called tech support again and this time they said I need a shielded cat cable. Then I bought a shielded cable and got the same result. Nothing. So, I've spent hundreds of dollars and have nothing. First class experience.

Cons
  • The list will be long.

Works great, even on CAT5e!

This is the first video over ethernet extender I've tried and edited for my setup. I have a house that is connected with a Cat5e Ethernet cable and I want my monitor to be in one room and my computer to be in another room. I've tried other extenders in the past that either compressed the video (resulting in unacceptable latency) or didn't have enough signal strength to transmit it through all the cables without appreciable noise (e.g. red pixels everywhere). There is no noticeable latency at…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Minor issues

Perfect app for our gym

We are installing a large video screen in our HS gym and although a media server is used for sports videos we wanted to be able to use the display for guest speakers as well. While wireless HDMI extenders could be an option, we were concerned about the performance of all wireless devices in the gym at large gatherings and decided a wired solution would be best. We have a 165ft Cat6 transition between units. This system allowed us to mount the box on the wall where presenters could easily plug…

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…

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

Great product that works as advertised

I make a lot of videos and slideshows for company parties. I have listed 4 other 3rd party devices up to 392ft but there is a slight video lag when moving the mouse. It didn't really matter since most customers mainly want videos and slideshows. At a company event last week, the video we showed had a lag in audio. I've never experienced this problem and had to use a video switcher to slow down the audio by 200ms. I decided it was time to find a solution if I'm doing a mixer-free event. I…
