I suppose to say this correctly, the technology is not DVI over IP but DVI over Cat5e. I have been reading and studying the protocol used on the Cat5 solutions and I have discovered that it is not even a registered internet protocol.

Simply put, The boxes use twisted pair for their own protocol. Since about 50% of the TCP/IP packets is eaten up in addressing and continuity, they make for very inefficient tools to transport the very large data volume of video.

This is stuff I have always known but after the research I have done in the past few days, I am even a bit more apprehensive of using a Copper solution.

Basically the video transporters use each twisted pair to send a different part of the signal I.E. Red, Green, Blue, and Sync. This is why they will never be able to work in a traditional network.
