I have been watching HDBaseT equipment and vendors. I have a basement setup, with the main projector location, and a couple other TVs (2 today, cabling for 3) in other locations for the whole effect. I have gone crazy checking out everything from dirt cheap to totally very expensive HDBaseT systems. I finally took the plunge last week on a company I never heard of before, Gofanco (
http://www.gofanco.com/products/hdmi-extenders.html). They were available through Amazon, and Amazon has a decent return policy, so I took the chance.
I am quite happy with them, when I finished the basement, I ran 2 cat6 cables from the projector cabinet to each TV location. This solution only needs one. I skipped any face plates (other products say to limit connections). So HDMI out of Pioneer VSX-90 into "Sender", then Cat6 cable from there to a local GB switch, yes this product uses an Ethernet switch to get more outputs (another tip, although it works over network, I kept the Network and Video switches separate). I terminated 3 Cat6 cables (the hardest part, I got big fingers) directly to the switch, and ran to the TV. I got the receivers double sided taped to TVs, Cat6 in, HDMI out. Worked 1st try. I used an Apple TV as my source test (skipped over receiver) as the remote is RF, everything worked at the remote TVs. With my face an inch from the TV, I thought I noticed some artifacts, but I was also playing YouTube content over the Apple TV which is wirelessly connected to my network, so I gave it a pass.
The boxes can pass IR back, I am not using this feature as of now since my source cabinet still needs a IR blaster I think (wish every component had IR connections).
Only thing I cannot get to work is audio on the remote TVs, that is not the HDMI extender's fault though, its a huge complicated 900 page (seems like) user manual for the Pioneer Receiver. If I connect the 2nd HDMI as "HDZone", I get a picture at the other TVs, but no audio(which makes sense, as the point of a receiver is to play the audio). If I specify the second HDMI out as "Zone2", I get nothing (no picture or sound) on remote TVs. Anyone know how to make the Pioneer play nice? For now, I got audio out going into the Sonos Line In, and use that for audio when needed, its ceiling speakers are near the TVs. Not perfect, but completes the effect, and its kept at low volume anyway.
