HDBaseT Update: 5Play

A while back I posted an article describing, what I believed, is technology being developed today that would revolutionize our future. Since I've gone ahead and made such bold statements, I figured I might as well start documenting some of the advances technology has made since my initial introduction.

In my original article, HDBaseT was being developed as an alternative means of providing High Definition Audio/Video inter-connectivity between devices via standard Cat5 cabling. Since my article, it seems that providing HD A/V over Cat5 cabling simply wasn't revolutionary enough, so the people over at HDBaseT came up with 5Play.

5Play is the convergence of 1). Uncompressed High Definition Video 2). Uncompressed High Definition Audio 3). 100BaseT Ethernet 4). Power Over Cable 5). Various Control Signals into a standardized protocol.

So what does that mean? Well you can now use Cat5 cable to transfer High Definition Audio/Video, but you can also send full internet signals, as well as power, and remote control functions. So now instead of having to have video, stereo, internet, power, and remote control cable and wires everywhere, they'll all be replace by one internet cable. Pretty cool concept, if they can pull it off...oh yeah, they have check it out...

Now seriously, how cool is that? No more looking for electrical jacks, makes for a very exciting future.

This Netgear Prosafe 16 Port Gigabit Switch was part of a Craigslist lot I purchased, containing a bunch of computer equipment. Seeing as I had no need for this switch, at the time, it just sat in my office collecting dust. Once I started my structured media home wiring project I realized the 16 port Netgear could be quite useful, but after a few unsuccessful attempts at utilizing it I realized it was DOA. Here's the situation, when this switch is plugged in, an LED will signify the unit is on and working, however whenever an Ethernet cable is inserted into any of the available jacks, there is no LED activity or connectivity. I took to the world wide web and came across a few similar situations all of which indicated that my unit probably had a bad capacitor. To verify if this was indeed the culprit behind my non functioning switch I woul
