Vision moves to a “new look” logo. Vision’s General Manager Stuart Lockhart says, “The new logo reflects our evolution into a Tier 1 brand. We are no longer just an education brand - our products are used in corporate, home, business, and digital signage installations all over the world.”

The logo is all that’s changing as Vision constantly adds new products.

“Running cables in old building can be difficult – especially where thick stone walls are involved,” notes Lockhart. Vision’s new HDMI Powerline transmitter and receiver set runs HDMI and IR signal over the existing electrical power cables.

Vision’s TechconnectTC2-HDMIP HDMI-Over-Power combines 500Mbps Powerline (or Homeplug) technology with H.264 compression.

The critical factor in making this work reliably, says Vision’s General Manager, was to modify the Quality of Service (QoS) setup in the Qualcomm chipset. Vision developed a proprietary QoS to ensure the signal has priority and won’t drop out. Vision claims latency is now virtually zero.

The transmitter has a 2-input HDMI switcher integrated with an HDMI output which can feed a local display. It comes with a remote so the switcher can be switched from the transmitter or receiver.

For home users it has IR pass-through, so you can use the Sky or Blu-ray remote from the receiver location. Cabled IR receivers and emitters are included so everything can be hidden out of sight.
