Abstract:
1. A method for receiving a packet in a High Definition Base Transmission (HDBaseT) system, the method comprising: receiving, at a reception adaptor, a packet from a transmission adaptor through an HDBaseT network; converting, by the reception adaptor, the received packet to data in order to transmit the data to a sink device; and transmitting the data to the sink device, wherein the packet includes a four level hierarchical identifier for identifying HDBaseT entities to which the packet is to be transmitted, and wherein the four level hierarchical identifier includes a device medium access control (MAC) address field for identifying a device management entity of an HDBaseT device, a port identifier field for identifying a port device associated with the HDBaseT device, an HDBaseT group (T group) identifier field for identifying a T group associated with the port device, and a type mask field for identifying one or more HDBaseT adaptors (T adaptors) associated with the T group.
