How to stream HDMI or VGA over LAN without using video extenders?
HDMI over LAN technology enables the extension of a PC’s desktop through a local area network (LAN), using standard Ethernet rather than direct HDMI connections.
This setup allows displays to be positioned at considerable distances from the source computer, providing greater flexibility in managing multiple screens across large areas. Originally developed to share USB devices like printers and storage, AV over IP now supports a wide range of audio-visual signals, making it ideal for complex environments such as digital signage, corporate video walls, or command centers, where scalability and high-resolution content are crucial.
