Detailed Description
In order to more clearly and completely explain the technical scheme of the invention, the invention is further explained with reference to the attached drawings.

The HDMI interface 101 is configured to receive an HDMI signal from a host, four pairs of differential ac signal pins (i.e., pins 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9, 10, and 12) in the HDMI interface 101 for transmitting audio/video signals are coupled to a signal input terminal of the network transformer 103, a signal output terminal of the network transformer 103 is connected to the RJ45 interface 102 through the filtering and coupling circuit 109, and pins (e.g., pins 15 and 16 for transmitting HDCP and EDID signals and pin 19 for transmitting HPD hot plug signals) in the HDMI interface 101 for transmitting digital signals are connected to the filtering and coupling circuit 109 through the signal amplifying circuit 104. The power interface 105 is used for connecting an external direct-current power supply, the power interface 105 is respectively connected with a first voltage circuit 106, a second voltage circuit 107 and a third voltage circuit 108, the first voltage circuit 106 converts the external direct-current power supply voltage into a first reference voltage and supplies the first reference voltage to the network transformer 103, the second voltage circuit 107 converts the external direct-current power supply voltage into a second reference voltage and supplies the second reference voltage to the signal amplification circuit 104, and the third voltage circuit 108 boosts the external direct-current power supply voltage into a third reference voltage to form a power supply signal and supplies the power supply signal to the filtering and coupling circuit 109.
The peripheral circuit of the network transformer 103 is shown in fig. 2, and the internal structure of its main device U1 is shown in fig. 3, and the first voltage circuit 106 provides the first reference voltage (VCC33) to the network transformer 103, so as to raise the voltage amplitude of the output signal of the network transformer 103 to the first reference voltage (VCC 33).
The signal amplification circuit 104 provides the second reference voltage (5V) to the signal amplification circuit 104 through the second voltage circuit 107, as shown in fig. 4, which will make the voltage amplitude of the digital control signals (e.g., RX _ IR, TX _ IR, and EDID) amplified by the amplifier U3 rise to the second reference voltage (5V).
The filtering and coupling circuit 109 is shown in fig. 5, wherein the digital control signals (e.g., RX _ IR, TX _ IR, EDID) and the power supply signal (12V) are coupled to the audio/video signals (DO +, D0-, D1+, D1-, D2+, D2-, CLK +, and CLK-) and finally transmitted to the receiver 200 through the network cable via the RJ45 interface 102.
The receiver 200 includes an HDMI interface 201, an RJ45 interface 202, a network transformer 203, a comparator circuit 204, a voltage stabilizing circuit 205, and a filtering and coupling circuit 206. The RJ45 interface 202 receives signals from the transmitter 100, the filtering and coupling circuit 206 separates digital control signals and power signals coupled to the audio/video signals, the audio/video signals are transmitted to the audio/video signal pins of the HDMI interface 201 through the network transformer 203, the digital control signals are separated into effective signals by the comparator circuit 204 and transmitted to the digital control signal pins of the HDMI interface 201, and the power signals supply power to the comparator circuit 204 through the voltage stabilizing circuit 205.
The filtering and coupling circuit 206 of the receiver 200 is identical in construction to the filtering and coupling circuit 109 of the transmitter 100. The network transformer 203 of the receiver 200 adopts a network transformer structure having only a signal isolation function. The fourth reference voltage is set by the comparator circuit 204, and when the digital control signal voltage is higher than the fourth reference voltage, the fourth reference voltage will be able to be transmitted to the digital control signal pin of the HDMI interface 201 through the comparator circuit 204.

the transmitter adopts a network transformer for boosting and isolating power to boost the voltage amplitude of the audio and video signal to a first reference voltage, adopts a signal amplifying circuit to boost the voltage amplitude of the digital control signal to a second reference voltage, and then adopts a filtering and coupling circuit to couple the boosted audio and video signal with the digital control signal. In addition, in order to ensure the effective separation of the digital control signal, a comparator circuit is specially arranged on the receiver, the digital control signal voltage after transmission is higher than a fourth reference voltage and can be transmitted to the HDMI interface through the comparator circuit, in order to realize the function, a filtering and coupling circuit of the transmitter also boosts the power supply signal to a third reference voltage and couples the third reference voltage to the audio and video signal for transmission, a voltage stabilizing circuit is arranged on the receiver, and the separated power supply signal is supplied with power to the comparator circuit after being stabilized.

When CAT5E or CAT6 cable is adopted for transmission, the transmission distance can reach 100-150 meters. When the power signal is coupled in, the power signal is boosted to a third reference voltage, for example, 12V, which has higher power transmission efficiency, and meanwhile, does not generate interference to the transmitted data signal.
