I have an update on Bridging VLAN's when you want/need to expand an HDMI over IP Matrix beyond the capacity of the first switch. If you want to use Just Add Power HDMI over IP Matrix switching across multiple switches, it is reccomended that the switches you select are ones that support the Network Standard IEEE 802.1Q VLAN's. This is because the 802.1Q VLAN's allow static port based VLAN's to commumicate across a shared backbone connection. Otherwise you would have to use additioanl dedicated ports on each switch for bridging each HDMI over IP Transmitter. For those of you that enjoy technical details, there is a good document covering this topic at ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/networking/software/AdvTraff-Oct2005-59908853-Chap02-VLAN.pdf (pages marked 2-5 and 2-6 illustrate the concept). The Netgear FSM726 $240 switch does list 802.1Q in the product specifications online, with support for up to 64 VLAN's (reference http://www.netgear.com/Products/Switches/FullyManaged10_100Switches/FSM726.aspx?detail=Specifications ). Theoretically, you could bridge 11 FSM 726's together to support a 64 Input by 200 Output HDMI over IP Matrix. Depending on the nature of the traffic, it may be more practical to "limit" this hypothetical HDMI network to about 20 Inputs for heavy duty applications. On the other hand, The IC Intracom switch does not specifically list the 802.1Q specification in the online documentation. Some of the other IC Intracom switches do appear to support 802.1Q, so it might just be an omission in the online documentation. I should have some of the IC Intracom switches in my hands on Tuesday. At that point we can test them to see if they are "limited" to HDMI over IP applications that can can live within the 26 port limitation (i.e. build your own right-sized whole-house HDMI over IP matrix with any combination of TX and RX units and up to 26 total allowed such as 16 TX HDMI channels and 10 RX HDMI display devices). If you are in the mood for some power shopping, you can browse a listing of over 1,600 Network Switches and Hubs that support IEEE 802.1Q VLAN's at http://www.epinions.com/Networking_Hubs_and_Switches--ieee_802_1q_qos/sec_~product_list/pp_~1#list ! Here's the tech notes from Cisco that pertain to this issue: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/hw/switches/ps708/products_tech_note09186a008059a9df.shtml
