General description
HDBaseT: The 5Play evaluation kit demonstrates transfer of HDMI audiovisual content, in conjunction with 100BaseT Ethernet and controls over an HDBaseT link.
The HDBaseT 5Play Evaluation Kit (EVK) is comprised of a Sink board and a Source board, forming an HDBaseT link. This link is designed to enable simplified, long-reach wired connectivity of uncompressed HD multimedia content, Ethernet, Controls and Power over a single standard 100m/328ft CAT5e (or superior) cable.
Evaluation kit content
The 5Play evaluation kit (EVK) contains the following items:
- 1 x 5Play Sink board.
- 1 x 5Play Source board.
- 2 x 100-240Vac to 5Vdc power suppliers.
Evaluation kit features
- HDBaseT: The 5Play evaluation kit demonstrates transfer of HDMI audiovisual content, in conjunction with 100BT Ethernet and controls over an HDBaseT link.
- PDIF: The 5Play EVK supports a Programmable Data bus interface (PDIF) for serial bi-directional communications, Such as RS232, RS422 and IR.
- Power: Transfer of Power over Ethernet (PoE) is also supported via HDBaseT connection. The default configuration of the 5Play EVK does not include the PoE module.
- HDMI bypass: HDMI bypass can be demonstrated with the 5Play EVK, but it is not supported by the default configuration and a special firmware version is required.
- 100BaseT connectivity: The 5Play EVK may also demonstrate a fallback to 100BaseT Ethernet functionality. This mode is not supported by the default configuration, and a special firmware version is required.
