DESCRIPTION
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION:
Today’s HDMI or DP ( display port) video distribution is realized with HDMI or DP EXTENDERS boxes which carries the HDMI or DP signals plus extra data and/or remote controls
Extra data and/or remote controls are essential key in any audio video installation, integration, distribution, such as home automations, home theaters, and any other video distribution application in order to remote control or move extra additional data and signals on top of the HDMI or DP signals, out of the DP / HDMI standars.
The new DP or HDMI AOC active optical cables cannot replace these long-distance-capable “ EXTENDERS” because HDMI AOC or DP AOC cables does long-distance but does not carry any extra data nor remote controls out of their hdmi or dp connectors standards.
This HAOCXD invention ADDS TO THE HDMI AOC or DP AOC long-distance-capable cable, extra wires or fibers or circuit to connect additional electrical or fiber connectors to transport any extra data and/or remote controls.
This invention HAOCXD cable can replace the old extenders since HDMI or DP AOC cable long-distance-capable signals are added with extra DATA and/or REMOTE CONTROLS, offering major advantages respect the old hdmi extenders because the AOC video quality is totally uncompressed, full bandwidth, full speed, full specs, and the HAOCXD invention add the missing connections and connectors to the DP HDMI AOC cables.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION:
HAOCXD (HDMI ACTIVE OPTICAL CABLE EXTRA DATA) is the invention to add extra fibers or wires or circuit to a standard DP (display port) or HDMI AOC Active optical cable in order to transport additional extra data and/or remote controls within the same long-distance-capable DP / HDMI AOC active optical cable outside of the DP / HDMI standards.
An object of this HAOCXD invention is to create a next generation of long-distance-capable 4K 8K 10K and higher UNCOMPRESSED FULL QUALITY FULL BANDWIDTH HDMI Extenders by adding data and/or remote control capabilities to the DP / HDMI AOC cables design, making a HAOCXD integrated AOC cable capable of multiple connections / connectors which can carry extra data and/or remote controls signals extra to the DP / HDMI aoc signals.
A regular DP / HDMI AOC cable can be realized with the DP / HDMI connectors directly attached to the cable, or the DP / HDMI connectors might be part of a separated block, connecting to the main HDMI Capable AOC cable via custom inter-connectors.
DP / HDMI AOC cables only transports their DP / HDMI standards signals, no other data and/or remote controls out of the DP / HDMI standards are carried so the standard DPI HDMI AOC cables CANNOT BE USED AS DP / HDMI EXTENDERS NOR CAN REPLACE ACTUAL DP / HDMI EXTENDERS.
An object of the present HAOCXD invention is to evolve from the actual CAT-X based DP / HDMI EXTENDERS technology which provides dp / hdmi long-distance extension with extra data and/or remote controls capabilities with huge limits on the video quality since it is compressed to fit the limited performance and bandwidth offered by the typically used cat-x cables, as well requires more power, more power supplies, and more complicated installations with multiple components involved, all factors which lately might turn into unwanted environmental pollution.
This HAOCXD invention is a long-distance capable SINGLE INTEGRATED AOC CABLE, capable to transport extra data and/or remote controls on top of the full quality uncompressed HD 4K 8K 10K and higher DP / HDMI AOC signals and is a more ECO-FRIENDLY SOLUTION since does not requires extra power supplies and as many parts and components as a cat-x extender does.
A typical HAOCXD CABLE is realized adding 2 data conductors plus one shield foil plus a ground wire into a standard DP/HDMI AOC cable. These 2 data conductors and ground wires can be terminated with any mechanical / electrical solution on both side of the cable in order to connect extra data and/or remote controls as needed on top of the Source / Display DP / HDMI AOC connectors connection.
In the AUDIO VISUAL APPLICATIONS, 3.5 millimeters mini jack can be used to terminate these 2 data conductors plus ground wire. The 3.5 millimeters mini jack connectors are a sort of “ industry standard” in the audio video integration world, used on all the remote controllable av receivers, matrix switchers, television sets, IR infra red remote control devices, and many other devices.
In a HOME TELEVISION DISTRIBUTION INSTALLATION EXAMPLE, having 3 5 millimeters jacks on the HAOCXD cable allows to connect typical IR infrared remote control mechanism where an IR EYE ( mini jack connector) is placed on the TV set to receive ir infrared remote controls commands from remote controls in the room, to be delivered to the other side of the DP / HDMI AOC cable to the destination av source devices.
The other side of the HAOCXD cable might also have another 3.5mm jack which can be plugged directly to an AV-RECEIVER remote control minijack port, or to an IR infrared distribution device, or to a MINIJACK KEYSTONE in the drywall box to patch the data coming from the IR EYE on the tv to any functional block with a clean elegant inter-connection on the 3.5MM keystone.
This at the same time to the SOURCE and DISPLAY DP/HDMI connectors connections carried by the same HAOCXD cable
In GAMING APPLICATIONS, a HAOCXD CABLE can add USB plus REMOTE CONTROL connectors to the DP / HDMI AOC cable to make an HAOCXD cable with DP / HDMI plus USB plus 3 5mm jack to remote control the AV receiver for the surround sound connected to the ceiling speakers, plus connect the gaming controller and/or vr headset, and of course the DP / HDMI video which can be 4K 8K 10K uncompressed up to 120 frames per second, of course all with full quality and ZERO LAG, most important for Gaming.
So the HAOCXD INVENTION TRANSFORMS A REGULAR DP / HDMI AOC active optical cable INTO A ZERO LAG LONG DISTANCE FULL QUALITY UNCOMPRESSED EXTENDER, overcoming all the limits of typical cat-x based extenders, with less power consumption and more eco-friendly.
This is anyway not limiting the possibilities to construct and wire the HAOCXD Mechanism / invention in any possible mechanical or electrical way, where the main key invention remains the fact that THERE ARE ADDITIONAL FIBERS AND/OR WIRES AND/OR CIRCUIT ADDED TO A DP / HDMI AOC ACTIVE OPTICAL CABLE TO CARRY EXTRA NON DP / HDMI AOC STANDARD DATA AND/OR REMOTE CONTROLS signals
