HDMI 1.4 HEAC Solution

The industry first IxN2X HDMI converter translates a RJ45 100Mb/s Ethernet signal onto the Ethernet channel of a HDMI 1.4 cable .

Key Features

  • Test 100 Mb/s Ethernet transmission over the Ethernet Channel within the HDMI 1.4 cable
  • Perform HDMI Ethernet channel compliance protocol testing with automated test cases based on the HDMI1.4 CTS (Compliance Test Specification)
  • Access the audio return channel using SPDIF connections
  • Add HDMI audio/video to HDMI 1.4 cable using secondary HDMI 1.3 connection, while testing Ethernet functionality

The IxN2X HDMI convertor is the industry first solution for testing Ethernet Channel functionality of HDMI 1.4 devices including DVD players, Set-top boxes, gaming consoles and HDTV's. Using the HDMI Ethernet converter you can validate Ethernet network performance directly over the new HDMI Ethernet & Audio return channel (HEAC) of the HDMI 1.4 cable.
