I need to carry HDMI just over 300 metres via fiber. I am seeking both leads and reports from actual users.
I'm searched here and other places, and have found a few mentions. Here's things I learned already:
We'll have fiber-based 1 or 10 GB networking, so a real TCP/IP scheme would be fine. But I've seen some that say "ethernet" when they mean "uses several CAT5 cables" and those won't fly.
Here's what I've found so far:
If you have an aprox price; that would help.
There must be lots more out there....Suggestions?
I'm searched here and other places, and have found a few mentions. Here's things I learned already:
- Go the distance. Some products seem to be short-range.
- Bidirectional is more fun. An integral backchannel for IR control will save me the effort of some separate scheme.
- The more the merrier. If there's a multi HDMI channel product, that would save doubling up.
- No half-{gl}ass solutions. Some products seem to need both glass and CAT5. One important reason for going to FO is to avoid ground differential issues between the buildings.

Here's what I've found so far:
- Crestron HD-TX3-F
- NeoPro which has a backchannel built in.
