Transport HD video and Audio (1920x1080p240Hz via ethernet)

Philips Television is met zijn 400 collega’s het internationaal innovatiecentrum dat de meest innovatieve TV’s ontwikkelt en consumenten zo een niet te evenaren cinematic viewing experience bezorgt. Perfect Pixel HD, Ambilight, Aurea en de recent gelanceerde Cinema 21:9 Platinum 3D-TV zijn allemaal ontstaan in deze vernieuwende en gedreven omgeving. Net zoals voorgaande jaren werd ook in 2011 ons werk bekroond met de prestigieuze EISA-award voor meest groene tv en de beste 3D-televisie.
Philips Television, is the global innovation center where 400 colleagues work together to develop the most innovative TV’s thus creating an unforgettable cinematic viewing experience for our consumers. Perfect Pixel HD, Ambilight, Aurea and the recently launched Cinema 21:9 Platinum 3D-TV have all been developed in this innovative and inspiring environment. In 2011, as in previous years, we won the prestigious EISA-award for the most eco-friendly product and the best 3D-television.

Assignment
To connect a TVbox with a display we have to transmit video Vby1 (1920x1080p240Hz) on a cable between 3 and 5 meter.
1st step
is to convert the Vby1 to HDMI technology => probably a 2-step approach : Vby1 to TTL-or-something (including the pixel-splitting) and then TTL -or-something to HDMI (2 devices parallel)
2nd step
is to convert the HDMI protocol to an HDBaseT technology which enables to send the HDMI streams via an Ethernet cable.
re-use of reference design of Valens Semiconductor
3rd step
is to make a receiver prototype board that captures the HDBaseT via Ethernet and translate it back to HDMI.
4th step
is to translate this 2x HDMI back to a single 240Hz 1920x1080 stream and convert to Vby1-format/levels so we can connect it to the display

In brief the intention is to create a prototype board that sends dual HDMI (HD video and audio) over Ethernet via HDBaseT, and a prototype receiver board that translates this again into HDMI.
Ethernet cables are more flexible and easier in use than HDMI cables. The HDBaseT technology is a very young technology and is developed to enable such kind of translation from HDMI to Ethernet interface and currently there are IC’s available that can do this conversion (HDMI to HDBaseT and HDBaseT to HDMI).
The HDbaseT technology also enables power transmission via the same Ethernet cable, intention is also to investigate what the possibilities/limitations are for adding power to the same interface.
