Re: Cat5 & Audio



I may be on the wrong wavelength....:-) as ususal

but
at present I have 4 cat 5 sockets in bedroom, pc cupboard (thats right in
the cupboard), and 8 in the lounge (4 at tv, 4 at stereo). The patch panel
with 48 sockets is in the other cupboard and all sockets link to the patch
panel...

the dvd composite, right and left speaker go to the patch panel and are
then
shared to the pc and the bedroom video. The cctv goes from the bedroom to
patch panel then shared. The pc output (matrox marvel) goes to the patch
panel then is shared to lounge and bedroom.

I have used composite video and use the T568B convention as below, and
wiring as below :

1    white/orange        video +ve
2    orange                 video -ve
3    white/green          left audio +ve
4    blue                    right audio -ve
5    white/blue           right audio +ve
6    green                  left audio -ve
7    white/brown        12v +ve switching
8    brown                12v -ve switching

the switching is used for pin 8 switching of scart to automatically change
tv or video to Aux/video channel and view source...

To date I have not noticed any significant video degradation, I haven't yet
tried s video

hope this helps

Campbell
