I am currently remote gaming in our living room using an nVidia Shield with GameStream, which is great, but I would like to improve the gaming image quality, by connecting to my PC over extended HDMI instead.
My PC is in a room upstairs, with 2 no. CAT6 points to a patch panel in a central cupboard.
The AVR is in the living room, which also has 2 no. CAT6 points to the central cupboard.
I'm looking for near zero latency, no noticeable artifacting, HDCP and surround sound etc and I only want to spend what is necessary. I understand HDbaseT is probably what I need, but I was hoping for specific product recommendations. I don't need a switch/matrix.
Our TV is an OLED 1080P@60Hz; however, my next TV (in more than a year) will likely be HDMI2.1 4K@120Hz. I suspect I am best to just deal with what I have now and replace the remote setup in the future when we get a new TV.
My GPU is a 2070super, but will upgrade to a 3080-20GB, as soon as I can get hold of one.
If the remote connection devices need a dedicated cable, it would look like this:
PC>--HDMI-->Device>--CAT6-->Socket>--CAT6-->PatchPanel>--CAT6-->Patchpanel>--CAT6-->Socket>--CAT6-->Device>--HDMI-->AVR
Total Distance from PC to AVR, should be around 15-30m.
If there is a suitable device that works by IP, (more flexible for me, but not necessary) then it would follow the same path, but be limited to 1000BaseT, as I have used up my 10GBaseT switch sockets (until I upgrade).
My wireless controllers just about work from the PC upstairs, to the Living room, but I would like to send USB down to the Living room for a stronger signal, as long as it doesn't add noticeable lag. Should I look for a product with both HDMI and USB built in, or would I be better suited with separate products?
Thank you for any suggestions!
