Frequently asked questions
Which module should I choose for a corporate conference room?
That depends on your needs: use the HDMI module if you need to connect video sources or displays, or the Ethernet module if you primarily need network control for the AV system. Many installations use both modules together in the same Hydraport frame for complete connectivity.
What is the key specification difference between these modules?
The HDMI module carries video signals at up to 4K resolution with 18 Gbps bandwidth, while the Ethernet module carries data and control signals at Gigabit speeds (1000Base-T). They serve completely different purposes within an AV installation.
Are both modules equally durable for installed systems?
The Ethernet module explicitly rates 10,000 pull-and-release cycles, making it ideal for high-traffic environments where cables are frequently connected and disconnected. The HDMI module is designed for more stable, semi-permanent installations where the cable is extended less frequently.
Can I use both modules in the same Hydraport installation?
Yes—both modules are designed to work within AMX Hydraport systems, so they can be combined in a single frame to provide both video and network connectivity simultaneously.
