Does the SP3 support Ethernet over HDMI?
« on: 6 Feb 2020, 01:19 am »
Hi,

Well, the title says it all. There are HDMI cables on the market that support Ethernet over HDMI. Is this an attractive option for the SP3 or doesn’t it make a difference and is a HDMI cable without Ethernet just as good?

Kind regards,

WillyP

As long as it is HDMI 1.4 or above (which the website indicates it is) it should be able to carry ethernet - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI - "HDMI 1.4 was released on June 5, 2009, and first came to market after Q2 of 2009.[63][99][100] HDMI 1.4 added support for 4096 × 2160 at 24 Hz, 3840 × 2160 at 24, 25, and 30 Hz, and 1920 × 1080 at 120 Hz.[101](§6.3.2) It also added an HDMI Ethernet Channel "

Thanks for the reply. My SP3 has an HDMI 2.00 board and so has my 4K TV, but with a high-speed HDMI - Ethernet cable there is no connection between the two devices. This is not a big issue for me. It means that there is no need for use of an HEC cable.

Kind regards,
