HDMI to CAT5/6-splitter?

[dc11ab]

I browsed and found this product:
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/283268...e_CAT.html

"HDMI 1x8 Splitter over single CAT.5E/6,HDMI 1.3V over single networking cable to each display for up to 50M @ 1080p "
Reading the fine print, it was more like 30 meters for the full monty over hdmi 1.3, but nonetheless still interesting.

According to the link above:

Quote:· Simultaneously distributes one HDMI signal to multiple display devices.
· It extends HDMI signals via single Cat6 cable up to 30M at 1080P resolution (Cat.5 cable up to 25M).
· HDMI V1.3 HDCP 1.2 protocol compliant.
· Support HDMI digital audio format: LPCM/Dolby-AC3/DTS7.1/DSD/Dolby true HD/DTS-HD master Audio.
· Support signal retiming, Full-HD 1080P

· Support one HDMI cable input and mutiple RJ45 outputs.(A receiver is required for each display and sold separately.)
· Built-in Amplifier and Equalizer enables the splitter to support input HDMI cable length up to 20 meters, output Cat6 cable up to 30 meters (Cat.5 cable up to 25M)
· Perfect compatibility with any HDMI applications.
· Great working stability.
· Requires DC5V power supply (included)

Notably:
"A receiver is required for each display and sold separately."

It wasn't obvious for me which article this refers to, I'm guessing this:

or this:

I found 2-way and other options apart from the 8-way linked above.

Anyone who here who have had the pleasure(?) of testing this kind of product and care to share their experience, please?

People with projectors use them all the time and hate them.

I guess that's why there isn't more buzz around them.
