1st time I have seen the producer (uou) providing info on hw/sw you use to produce such great content. Thanks. Not sure what it is all for but I can learn.
Thank you for the kind words and checking out the video!
Thank you for a great video! Use case very well explained
Thanks for checking out the video.
Hey great video a quick suggestion would be to add a link to the videos you mention I had to look for this video for a few minutes Even though you mention it in a few videos. Again, great videos I like your content. A lot of great info and no time wasted thank you for taking the time to put together content for us
Thanks! I’ll definitely keep that in mind going forward. Thanks for the support.
this is what ive been looking for all these time. exact problem with exact solution!
I’ve tested so many of these devices and in my experience they all do the transmission over multicast, which blocks regular tcp/ip data traffic.. will order a few of these to test out.. thanks..
If that is the case, it should be easy to isolate a second network just for these so they don’t interfere with the overall bandwidth of your main LAN network. There’s no reason why they couldn’t still be plugged into the same router, but they would need a separate switch so the packets don’t travel beyond the switch for Transmitter-to-Receiver traffic.
this one does too. you need a dedicated eth network for these devices to be useful
Awesome review! Thanks Samir.
Thanks for checking out the video.
Very cool, thankyou for the review!
Thanks for checking out the video.
Great info as usual Samir
Thanks for the support Matt!
Nice one Samir, Kindly confirm if this device or any other one available can extend HDMI for NVR in such a way the remote TV and mouse can view a different channel independent of other remote. I want to be able see a different channel or whatever i do remotely should not be seen by others connected.
Hello Samir, I have an office with a video surveillance system where I can see live images of what's happening. Additionally, I would like to have a screen at my cash terminal and share the signal without cables. How do I set that up? I felt you went through it quickly when connecting everything together.
The product you linked on Amazon (RX/TX) to does not say IP anywhere in the description and it is not marked as such on the device as in your video. Also can I use my home network to transmit this thru multiple switchws or is this made to be used on a separate network from your home internet network I am confused!
Maybe you can help me.
I have to use the cable from my apartment to 2 other apartments. Can I connect several Ethernet switches between them to extend the range?
And what do I have to do, if the Screen tells me, no HDMI Signal, even though everything is connected correctly....
Exactly what I was looking for. Bought a set , worked when connected directly however received no signal when connected through my network. :(. Will have to try and spend more time with it. Fingers crossed I'll be able to get it to run over my network.
Not sure why that would be! As long as they’re on the same network it should just work seamlessly.
There are versions that only use a Ethernet cable for a one to one connection without real networking. They are of course easy :)
Will this work on dish receiver in a motorhome and three tvs ? I want to use it for that only no internet just need video and audio
Do these transmit audio good? For example if I want to move my sound bar opposite the wall of my tv? So neighbors don’t complain
I am trying to transmit media from a laptop and cctv footage from a dvr on two TVs at 50m apart, I can use a switch to take two HDMI in and 1 out..can you help me set up using pway...
just seeing if you can help with this , I'm running a Belkin Screencast AV 4 Wireless HDMI Transmitter Adapter for my NVR which is good and a wireless mouse it says it will do up to 10m but I'm at 9m a the signal is week and very slow do you know any way to fix this and make it a bit better thanks.
Would have been nice to actually see you connect it all together and see how it works...
Thanks. I might make a follow up video to demonstrate.
Read video, but the way you avoid saying the name of the company who makes the product makes me think you really want us to click your affiliate links, seems just a little bit uncool.
@@peterpayne2219 he clearly did state the product name. If you actually watched the video 😂😂🫢
😂
They are idiot proof... one of the is TX transmit.. other is RX receiver. Put them on same vlan. Tx on device you want to see rx on device you want to see it on
Is it possible to open that multicast stream with vlc?
Hi, i want to connect a wireless mouse to NVR and its other end is 40 meters long, so extended the USB to RJ45 extender but its not working. Is there any device.
Sir I understand I want project on so far LED MY MEAN THARE IS NOT HOME NETWORK THERE IS A DIFFRENT WI-FI IS IT POSSIBLE SIR PLESE REPLY
Nice video Bro. Can it transmit multiple video to multiple users' PC via IP? what's the latency
So confused with these, the link in the video goes to something branded as ZPTEK and there are PWAY and PWAYTEK branded ones on Amazon which seem to do the same thing but look different
Looking to piggy back a signal (HDMI) from a receiver to another TV in the next room. Will the PWAY do this? Not real smart on this stuff.
Am curious about connecting multiple TX units on the same network?
I am looking for something like this. Hooking the transmitter to the ethernet is fine but the receiver is far from the router. So instead of running an hdmi cable I am running an ethernet cable.
Will this work if I am using a wireless mesh network? My NVR goes into a eero hub would the cable go into the extra port and then transmit to another eero with a cable going to the TV? Or does it have to be through cat5 cable direct connection?
I personally have not tried that. However i suspect that it will technically work but it will likely degrade your WiFi experience since packets will be continuously transmitting wirelessly. It’s also possible that the picture will be glitching out from time to time if there’s interference. But honestly I’m curious to know the outcome as well. Let me know if you do end up trying it.
Hi does it transmit audio also simultaneously
Looks like you have to receiver link and the combo link switched around. It also looks like they have updated the combo model, is there any confirmation on if the old version would work with the new one?
My guess is that they will work. But I can’t confirm as I have not tried it myself.
Hi there, great review. Is it possible to work with a touchscreen with this product? 😊
Unfortunately this will only carry the video signal. It will not carry any other i/o signal including touch screen.
Can we power these things using a powerbank?
Hi Samir! Are you using the same switch for your network and hdmi over IP?
I think I read somewhere it should be on a dedicated switch so it wouldn't affect the rest of the network... did you notice any performance issues using the same switch for everything?
Abraço!
I’m using the same switch. It hasn’t made any difference in performance on my network.
@@TechTalkwithSamir Did you create a VLAN for it?
I have 3 NVRs and I want to connect them to one TV through ip hdmi extenddor . Do you know a product that can do this without congestion of LAN if I installed it on existing company LAN. Thanks.
I personally don’t know what devices can help you with that. Perhaps someone else in the comments can help.
Hey Samir. Now I'm a bit confused. Is the config. with 1 PWAY transmitter and multiple receivers wireless? (You said "like" broadcasting.) If not how are the receiving PWAY receivers/TVs connected? Does each receiver connect to the next? Presently I have 1 router/modem and 2 TVs. Each TV (old) still requires its own PVR. The 1st (primary) PVR is LAN cable connected to the modem (and then HDMI into the TV). At the modem there is a small transmitter which wirelessly transmits to the 2nd PVR (and then HDMI into the 2nd TV.) I want to SPLIT this 2nd HDMI signal for a 3rd TV on a separate floor from the 2nd TV and its PVR. Only one of TV2 or TV3 will be on at one time. I have a very long Cat5e cable if I need it. So if wireless, simple. If there are cables between the PWAY transmitter and 1 or more PWAY receivers how do I connect them? (for example if there were a 3TVs and 3 PWAY receivers). If you could refer me to a schematic that would help.
Great question. It’s not wireless. It’s very simple.
From your DVR, connect the HDMI cable to the transmitter and connect the Ethernet port of the transmitter to your router.
Then connect each of your receivers to the same router using Ethernet (perhaps using the existing cabling in your house) and connect the HDMI ports from the receivers to the TVs you want to view on.
That’s it and it should all work.
Does these device support power over internet?
does this work with hik vision system?
How about couple transmitters and couple receivers?
Hi, just to confirm..
First link is a complete solution to run to one tv? (one transmitter and one receiver?)
Second link is a solution to run to many tvs? (one transmitter and many receivers?)
In both links, additional receivers can be added at any time to add more tvs?
Also, a ethernet cable is just between the receiver and dvr? TP link currently used for connecting the dvr to the internet for phone app.
This video is great!
The first link is the complete solution to run to one TV, the second link is to add more TVs to the combo in the first link. The 3rd link (one to one) is for straight one receiver to one TV (cannot add any additional receives to that one)
@@TechTalkwithSamir Perfect, cheers for that!
Woah, I’ve seen them before but never realised they use the IP. I just assumed they used the Ethernet cable as a cheap conductor if you know what I mean
Yup. Many of them are just as you described. This particular one however is over IP.
Hi, does it work for only audio transmission? I wanted to send only audio from my projector to sound bar
It should work fine for audio only transmission. But I have not yet tested that on my end.
Will I be able to use this for displaying my consoles on the shelf that use HDMI cables without having long cables and multiple hdmis connected and cable clutter?
So basically one screen to swap between PS3 phat, switch, Wii with HDMI port adapter with other consoles and devices that support HDMI output in the future
How how can i connect usb devices on long distance like this?
Can we use the output of transmitter as a camera in to a NVR ?
If your NVR takes HDMI as input then I don’t see why not.
Do the have some kind of settings, IP Adress and stuff?
From my experience with these, they’re just plug and play. Nothing to tweak. It does pick up an IP address from the DHCP server of your router but trying to go to that IP in a browser brings you to a blank page.
Can you have multiple transmitters in the same network? And how do you select witch input you recieve?
I don’t think you can have multiple transmitters on the same network. You might need to have multiple VLANs for this to work
Do all of these hdmi over ip devices convert to analog and back to digital? The one I had certainly did and it was obvious on my 96” screen
Pretty sure they keep things digital end to end.
Just subbed 👍🏻
Is it possible to achieve it with camcorders by converting the hdmi output to ip and make a multicamera from a distance of more than 200 meters?
Not sure exactly the setup you’re looking for but if you plug in your camcorder’s hdmi output to this, you can transmit it over the network as far as you want as long as you use cabling that can support the distances.
Is it useful for long distance secondary dosplay and is it work with sound or without sound?
Yes it can be useful for a secondary display. It works with sound. Just note that the latency may be slightly higher than a monitor directly connected to the computer but that may not be a problem if it’s not being used for gaming.
Do you think these will work well with gaming from a console to multiple tvs?
I personally haven’t tried it for low latency use cases but I imagine that you may see some latency.
I just want my living room smart tv and kitchen non-smart tv to show the same thing lol, going to try this and hopefully it works!
As long as you have Ethernet ports at both location that goes to your router/switch, it should work perfectly. Also you have to make sure that the device you’re playing your content on is a separate device (I.e can’t be your smart TV). Because your playing device has to have an HDMI output. TVs usually don’t have an output (so maybe use like a Roku or chrome cast).
@@TechTalkwithSamir The amazon says it is unavailable, do you where else I can buy the receiver, I already has the transmitter-receiver combo. Please advice.
The second link in the bio is for receiver only. They’ve updated the model number but it should still work with the older transmitter combo.
@@TechTalkwithSamir Thanks 🙏
On the receiver side how do you split the one Ethernet line for the hdmi receiver and your smart TV?
If you want to split the Ethernet on the receiver side, you may want to buy a small network switch to put on that end.
I would recommend a dedicated CAT6/7 network for these if you have access in your house.
What cameras do you recommend.. do you like your current Lorex 4K Security Camera System? I'm looking for something to monitor my business shop!
I personally am very satisfied with the LOREX system I got. It’s a great all in one system. The cameras with my system also have pretty bright LED lights that act as a spot light whenever they detect motion. But with LOREX, there’s many different combination of cameras and receivers you can go with. I do however recommend getting an NVR system rather than their cheaper DVR system. That way you can set up with standard Ethernet cables rather than running special cables.
@@TechTalkwithSamir Thanks for the reply.. will be looking more into them to make my purchase!
Agreed, I couldn't be happier with Lorex IP Bullet cameras (and their WiFi drop cameras and doorbell). On the other hand, their door and motion alarm system needs work as of April 2023.
Can you hide the receivers in wallplates? I am remodelling the house and these seem the best solution but I want to simply plug into a HDMI wallplate rather having a Reciever box sticking out at every point as it doesn't look neat
They’re definitely compact enough. The only tricky part is that you do need to run power to the receiver if you’re getting the one that can do multiple receivers. If you get some of the ones that do direct connection from the transmitter to receiver, some of them are powered by POE so you can avoid having to run power to it.
@TechTalk with Samir Interesting. How about if I use a RJ45 wallplate and then connected another cat6 cable to the receiver? Might start causing issues?
That should work just fine. That’s what I have in all my rooms with these receivers.
@@TechTalkwithSamir amazing thank you
So to use this you need 1 transmitter, 2 receivers, 3 short hdmi cables, and 2 ethernet cables?
3 Ethernet cables. And to be clear you can use as many receivers as you want. Not just 2.
Anyone know if it’s possible to connect my pc that is in one room to a tv that is in another? There’s cable conduits in my apartment but they were designed for coaxial cables so hdmi will not fit, my goal is to be able to play on the room where the TV is. Any help is appreciated, sorry but English isn’t my first language
This will work for sure. As long as both locations have Ethernet going to your switch/router.
@@TechTalkwithSamir does something similar exist for USB? To be able connect a mouse/keyboard or at least a controller
There does appear to be decided on Amazon for USB over IP. I personally haven’t used any such thing however.
Hi there, Would this work in this situation ? I have a Tv that I stream and watch youtube videos. I have another tv about 40 ft away that I would like to watch the same video on while I'm washing dishes so I don't miss anything. So i want both tvs to play the same thing at the same time . Thanks !
That would only work if you play the CZcams videos from a separate device going into the TV (like a Roku or chrome cast). If you’re just using the TV’s CZcams app, it won’t work because the TV doesn’t have an HDMI output (unless somehow your TV does lol).
@@TechTalkwithSamir Ok I see, that makes sense . Thanks for explaining that .
Thanks for checking out the video.
Hi, thanks for this video. Just to ask if this device can be used to extend a tv box to multiple rooms? Eg. Send a signal from the main TV box to another TV box in another room? Thanks.
It definitely can! The only thing to remember is that all TVs will play the same channel since the TV box is the one controlling channel.
@@TechTalkwithSamir Thanks for your response, it does make sense. Can you recomend any device that could enable watching different channel on two different TV? Thanks
Unfortunately that would require your cable box to support it. It won’t be possible without having multiple cable boxes if your cable box doesn’t support it.
@@TechTalkwithSamir Thanks Samir. I do have a second box, I'm hoping to use the PWAY as a reciever from the main box to the other box in another room. Is that a posibility?
I don’t think you can use more than one transmitters within the same network. That’s something I have not tried.
Nice. But how do you control which camera you are viewing?
I just have it setup in a way where all cameras show on the screen (split screen). But if someone has a wireless mouse with good range, that would be a way to toggle cameras if needed.
@@TechTalkwithSamir This is a great idea. I think I will implement it when I finally get around to installing mine. It would be easy to run a cable from where I will be installing it to my main router. I'll use your affiliate links when I do.
Appreciate the support ☺️
You choose your cameras on your NVR control. These just mirror whatever you see on your primary NVR display.
Dear sir , where will take out put from cat 6 cable
The output from CAT6 cable will go into the receiver. And you will use a HDMI cable from the receiver to the TV
Good afternoon. Based on these HDMI transmitters, I ask you, I have a laptop and two TV monitors. Do I need to buy 2 of those transmitters and get them connected to my laptop or router? How do I do it?
You need one transmitter and two receivers connecting to your network. The transmitter connects to your laptop (using HDMI) and each of the receivers connect to your TVs (using HDMI). Note that this is only to show the same thing on both TVs.
@@TechTalkwithSamir Perfect! How can I purchase 1 transmitter and two receivers on Amazon? How do I order them: 1 TX and 2 rx?
You can get a set with a transmitter and a receiver and then you buy an additional receiver. I have affiliate links in the description of this video.
@@TechTalkwithSamir Do I need a cat5/6 cable for each receiver?
Yes. All the devices need to connect to your network.
Do you have any cheap replacement for that? Cause it aint available right now :(((
Thanks 👌
I believe it’s in stock now.
Is this usable over network switches?
Yup it is
Can we transmit and receive HDMI data over RF link?
I mean, using long distance Network RF link antenna, of the order of 2kms or more.
Has anyone teste something like this over a wireless point-to-point connection, we have a guard house that is connected to the same network and we need to install a display for the guard to views camera's.
I haven’t personally but if it has a stable enough connection, I can’t see why it wouldn’t work.
Does it carry audio signal also?
Yup. It sure does.
Can we watch different things on different TV with this thing?
Why cant you reply me?
I have a 4k nvr Lorex security cameras I have the camera on the main tv I want to see these on my bedroom tv they are both Samsung qled tvs what do I need thank you so much for your time
If you have Ethernet going to your bedroom tv, you can use a hdmi over Ethernet device like the one I mentioned in this video. Another way would be if you get a firetv stick, you can integrate it using Alexa and your TV can show it. Although I haven’t played to much with that method.
I have a Orbi Wi-Fi routers with Ethernet ports and I have switch in the room will that help me
Depends on how the orbi routers are connected. There can’t be anything wireless in between. It has to be end to end wired in order for it to work well.
Can it be used on a network with switch
Yup. That’s what sets this one apart from other ones. That’s how I’m using it.
Hi my cctv runs on vga cables what can I do?
You should be able to use a VGA to HDMI adapter and then use the same method as I’m using. Here’s an adapter that might work for you: amzn.to/3GHBD2y
So... if I want to see my cameras on a TV away from the NVR, then I plug one to the NVR and the router, and the receiver to the other TV where I want to see it?
Yup. That’s it. You obviously have to connect the one on the TV side also to your network (using an Ethernet cable).
You can even have multiple receivers and have it show on multiple TVs throughout the house.
Thank you. I still don't know why it won't work. I have it plugged into power, hdmi from the NVR, hdmi to the TV, and ethernet cable to the router. It shows fine on the TV.
Then the receiver one, plugged into power, hdmi to a TV (downstairs, within range), and ethernet cable to the PoE wall adapter I have.
Still... TV says no hdmi signal. 🤔
The Ethernet on the receiver has to connect to the router as well. I assume you mean power line adapter (not poe adapter). I’m not sure it will work over a power line adapter. Is the other side of the power line adapter connected to your router?
I actually took the receiver off the adapter, and plugged it into one of my Google Mesh routers which I realized was nearby.
Still, the TV. In the correct input source, tells me there's no HDMI signal.
Weird. I'll keep looking, but I don't know what's wrong here.
It needs to be directly wired to the same router as the transmitter. Having a mesh network likely is the reason it’s not working.
Its cool bro. But does it support running 24/7 with 1080p resolution? If so maybe I will use it for my NVR.
Sure does. I use it 24/7 with my NVR.
Perfect,... thanks bro
How much bandwidth did it use up, out of interest?
It uses just under 6Mbps. Not sure if it’s variable bit rate or constant but with my surveillance camera setup, the transmitter is sending 6Mbps and each device is receiving 6Mbps.
Will it work on offline?
Yup. No internet needed. You can even connect directly from one device to the other without a network back end.
bro what about CCTVs with DVR
As long as your DVR has a HDMI port, this will work.
Hi good day Sir. This was a very nice video and impressive to me. I had almost the same dilemma as yours. I want to share a TV output to 4 TVs which are about 6 meters away (to 4 different rooms) from the main output TV. I dont wish to connecting them with long HDMI cables and yet I dont have any ethernet system, please advise what should I do ? Looking forward your kind response, thank you sir ^^
Unfortunately you will need to run some sort of cables regardless. If you want to use solution like me, you’d probably need to run Ethernet cables to each TV.
@@TechTalkwithSamir is it possible if me using Wireless HDMI Transmitters from 1 input to 4 output ?
@@TechTalkwithSamir does it have delay sir
Yup with this device you can get one transmitter and 4 receivers to do exactly that.
There doesn’t appear to be any delay in my testing. Seems to be very low latency.
I would think this would constantly broadcast traffic over all your network causing a lot of congestion.
It uses roughly 6Mbit of bandwidth. It has made no noticeable difference in performance in my network.
After watching this video, I purchased a pair to extend my NVR feed. After plugging it in to my primary home network I immediately lost feed from one of my IP cameras on the NVR. Problem when away immediately after I moved these to their own dedicated network - which was always my intention.
@@djpaulhannon separate, dedicated network and wires.
Cool~~
Thanks
I clicked your affiliate link for the receiver only and it shows the set. I couldn’t find just a receiver, could you verify? I’m looking for this product for a new install and you might as well make a buck for sharing this tech with us!

Thanks again for the support.
@@TechTalkwithSamir it worked. Thanks for updating the links. I was able to order everything needed for my new set up. Thanks for taking the time to update the links.
If you have two transmitters on the same network/vlan it wont work..
Yea I figured that would be the case. But never tested that usage case.
if only this work as a kvm
Hmm ethernet reaching that far over cat6a stp maybe, over cat5e forget it the soec fot 1000baset says 100 meters ( that is between devices so transmiter to router thise 500 ft of run you mention is probable the complete distance from the transmitter to the receiver that works fine if the router us about mid way but irvwas important to point out soy people that don't reed soecs don't thing you can doa singel 500ft caple and make it work ( unless you want to do finer that is but thats a hole otherr layer of complexity and cost
