RE: KAT5...Again!

["Phil Harris" <phillip.harris1@xxxxxxx>]

Basically I was running an 8m RGB lead to my projector from my video scaler ... I replaced the 8m RGB lead with a short RGB lead but a KAT5 TX/RX set between the source component (DVD) and the vide scaler. (i.e. I moved the scaler to be near the projector rather than near the source component) and the improvement in quality from this change is just superb.

 

I even crimped a couple of RJ45s ont the free ends of an almost full box of CAT5e cable (probably 20m used) and I really don't think I could tell any difference between having 30cm, 10m or 270+m of CAT5e connecting the two. There was *MAYBE* a bit of brightness difference between the 10m and 270m but as the tests were done during the day when daylight is an issue then I can't be certain.

 

Superb piece of kit and I really wish Keith could make some money on them ... I'm hoping t show a set working t someone in the retail trade in late August (hopefully Keith will have an IR return set working by then as that will really float this guys boat) and maybe drum up some usefull additional numbers of sales of units for him.

Folks,

 

I just had to tell you all, I’ve been busy installing a couple of custom modules that Keith made up for me before going on holiday to take a composite and an S-Vide from my amp to my projector.

 

WOW!

 

If you have a projector, get ont Keith immediately, you need these modules, WOW, what a difference for a shade over £100! Now I wish I’d done this a few days ago, like when they t uched down, simply amazing.

 

Can you tell I’m impressed yet?

 

K.
