Abstract
Methods and systems for providing a virtual HDBaseT® link. In one embodiment, a first switch transmits packets over an Ethernet network that includes one or more hops. The payload of each of the packets includes an HDBaseT® T-packet belonging to an HDBaseT® session. A first processor sets, for each packet from among a plurality of the packets, a timestamp value in the packet to correspond to the time at which the packet is transmitted by the first switch. A second switch receives the packets over the Ethernet network. A second processor calculates a clock correction value based on the timestamps in the plurality of packets, and utilizes the clock correction value to perform at least one of the following: (i) control transmission, by the second switch, of data in T-packets in the payloads of the packets, and (ii) recover a source clock of native media delivered over the Ethernet network.
