have you looked at the back of a graphics card lately
the outputs are all pretty much the same you got your DisplayPort you got your
HDMI in some cases you'll still find a
dvi kicking around and then NVIDIA in particular has this little vr link
connector a usb type-c that they use for
vr which is kind of cool AMD much of the same no dvi no vr link no big deal well
that's boring what if there was something totally different
well there is this is a graphics card from a company i had
never heard before called edvoli
and the atvoli ta6
is a video card unlike any
got your pci express 16x it's got your
power connector it's got your boom
six Ethernet jacks
madrina's coffee blends specialty cold brew coffees into 15 ounce grab-and-go
cans for your convenience check them out and use offer code Linus to save 40
at the link below so this thing can support
six displays running at 4k
30 hertz at the same time
how the bloody hell are they doing this Anthony
you did the prep for this sure did
it's Anthony folks so this is a weird freaking card like
this entire portion of the pcb seems to be dedicated to these hd base t
certified outputs and we'll get into that in a little bit more detail later
back here we've got a couple of three and a half millimeter jacks
what are these for those are for infrared pass-through so you can have
infrared in and infrared out as well as our rs232 serial
oh interesting so so you can use a remote
and have it pass through it's actually got ir blasters here
cool all right now the graphics card itself
is actually not here
or at least it's not integrated onto this output board so mxm is a laptop
graphics card form factor that's typically used in like
gaming notebooks but then they've gone and they've put
this Radeon card in it that isn't something i'd ever even heard before
like i assumed this was going to be an rx something or other but instead it's
uh what was it again it's actually an uh Radeon integrated embedded e9550 so this
has so far raised more questions than it has answered my understanding is this is
running off of it right now is that right oh yeah that's absolutely got two of these do you want to show me how this
cable run works so it's just this single Ethernet cable that comes from the card
from there we're going HDMI straight into
this monitor okay and then should i be able to tell any difference from from
using this at all not really so then Anthony how much of a delay is there if
i just pop this Ethernet cable out and then
like pop it back in to
about two and a half seconds so it's about the same as what a HDMI would be
so that six pin adapter that goes in is taking care of power not just for the
GPU but also for the power that has to be sent
to these adapters that take that hd base t signal and turn it into something that
a display can understand now you can do
10 gigabit Ethernet networking at up to
a hundred meters if you've got high enough quality cabling
and hdbaset can actually do the same thing
so at volley sent us over
600 meters of what has to be the most badass
what is this like cat seven like shielded cat seven or something like
that yeah i'm pretty sure that's cat seven i mean look at these connectors on
the end these are unreal this is solid core cabling
nice and i guess it's armored in case some idiot drops the spool on top of it
it's actually kind of funny when you look at the manual it says read the full
installation guide before beginning it can be found at bully.com ta-6
performance why you will make mistakes and you need to
read the warnings and safety related items that's literally what's written here so
the first thing i need to do is plug all of these into the back of the GPU
correct i mean sure if you want to uh uh
uh okay so then now the plan is for me to drag i don't know 80 pounds of copper
like as far as you can go and then we can plug in a monitor and see what it
looks like i won't be able to see it from there though because i need an output here
don't mind me i'm just you know plugging in my monitor
gentlemen
no i'm good where are you going
outside
you know when we said this channel's about to get heavy
this is exactly what we had in mind lots and lots of copper
no i got this i'm close i can smell it
you did it oh
oh man
we're close
all right
hi so there's two power leads outside yeah
and we should have five here and do we have a remote for this uh
oh man it's getting dark this is really
annoying all we had to do was not take that roundabout route through the
editing den and we'd be inside right now doing this
hey at least we cleverly planned ahead and we're going to use the uh the quad
input monitor from lg that thing has come in handy for so many projects like
this we're like we need to output to a bunch of
displays but we don't actually want to carry a bunch of monitors around
let's start with two so this is the one that should be mirroring the output from
Anthony's computer inside
okay i'm gonna go check again
okay Anthony i got an output on all of them
uh no i only have one plugged in so far but
it's the cloned one okay cool it's not bad at all do you mind turning
the volume down a bit i can't hear myself over myself
like this looks really good
dang all right let's go get the other display here we go
and there it is
that's crazy town hey Anthony is it possible to put videos
on all of them uh yeah
okay keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going keep going okay
now maximize the first one you want to come check it out you read
my mind that's actually pretty cool yeah this looks really good yeah and
it's over 100 meters like that's actually 100 meters plus like six or 10
feet for each of these cables and they've apparently got some improvements
in the pipeline so right now these are using uh what was it they call it power
over cable power over cable but PoE is
more of the like industry standard that would allow
better interoperability with other equipment and they're gonna have a PoE
version of it coming down the line
so in terms of how this works then basically
unlike most of the consumer grade in-home
streaming solutions where you can do display over Ethernet that we've
explored in the past this is using a 10 gig link rather than
a one gigabit link and the thing is that even with steam and home streaming you
can absolutely run it over a 10 gigabit switch with a 10
gigabit network card but because of the way that it is designed it will not make
use of all that extra bandwidth you have available so this
is what was it you said Anthony 8. something like that depending on the
exact resolution 4k 30 or 4k 60 at 420.
even though you don't have as much bandwidth as HDMI as long as you limit
some of your settings be it resolution be it refresh rate or be a bit depth
you can get something that to my eye is
not noticeably compressed over an Ethernet cable pretty freaking
sick what can i say about the oneplus 6t
oxygen os is awesome it's got an underscreen fingerprint reader which is
super responsive it's got a snapdragon 845 processor and up to eight gigs of
RAM with rear 16 plus 20 megapixel dual cameras storage starts at 128 gigs for
the base model and its 3 700 milliamp hour battery gives you up to a day and a
half of full use with built-in fast charge and the best part about it is you
can win one of two in our giveaway at the link in the video description
free oneplus who would say no
i wouldn't brandon wouldn't definitely not
