Does this solution require a dedicated ethernet connection or can it be used over a LAN?
A shopper
on Mar 5, 2025
BEST ANSWER: This is point to point type device, not a true video of IP. Also the unit I got only worked over a 2' CAT cable. The 50' cable I purchased from Monoprice would not pass picture.

While it uses ethernet cable, it does not adhere to the ethernet standards. It is not Video over IP, it has no MAC address to go through a switch. Point to point cabling only.

I wound up not using this device; instead, I replaced my copper HDMI cable with a fibre HDMI cable, and that has worked perfectly so far.

What is the default edid if I don't set one?
A shopper
on Jun 21, 2023
BEST ANSWER: It appears to passthrough the EDID from the display by default. If you press the EDID button once, it will 'learn' the EDID from the display that the RX side is plugged into (if isn't already passing it through). If you hold down the EDID button for 3 seconds it will learn the EDID from the TX loop. If there is no display on the loop, it will use the built-in EDID, which is 1080p 2CH.

None needed that I know of. This was a “plug & play” operation for me with no complications.

I’m only getting about 1 year out of any brand of extender that I buy. Only going about 50ft on copper cat 6. Any suggestions on what is happening? No issue with surge on anything else in the building.

It Just Works
Bought this to replace a previous Monoprice device that used two Cat-5 cables to transmit HDMI from our home theater receiver to the projector over ~50' of cable.
This device solved all of the troubles that I was having with HDCP not getting recognized--this thing just works!! I also like that it can be powered from either end.

Seems to be Good
Had some HDMI extenders in the past that only worked for a day or to then failed. This is not one of those...
