Many home entertainment devices have a dedicated port for connecting stand alone Ethernet cables, allowing these IP-based devices to network with other devices and the routers and modems that offer Internet access. The HDMI Ethernet Channel simply combines the features of an ordinary Ethernet cable into a HDMI cable. Data streams that were normally handled with separate Ethernet cables are now incorporated into one single HDMI cable.
The biggest benefit of the HDMI Ethernet Channel is cable consolidation. Instead of relying on several separate cables, home theater users only have to rely on one Ethernet cable connected to a television or receiver. Ethernet-enabled HDMI cables can then carry data transmissions from a main source to other IP-based home entertainment devices. Users can enjoy this setup without losing anything in quality or capacity.
