Most low cost matrix switches are comosite video only, and if you are happy
with CV, then your solution is fine. As cost goes up you get YC, and then
component.
CCTV - CV is fine, but DVD? its a judgement call. I'm happy at the mo
with
CV for everything, as it simplifies switching!
If you like KAT5 but cant wait for the KAT5 switcher, a possible
alternative
switcher is the Cytec RJ series of switches, which are basically boxes full
of relays(!), but RS232 controlled. You'll need to write yiour own control
interface software. See http://www.cytec-ate.com/r.htm.
Connectors - BNC best. But not usually used with CT100.

Subject: [ukha_d] Routing Baseband video around the house
I'm considering using a video matrix switcher to route my video
around the house (4xCCTV, Video, Satelite, DVD etc) and didn't
really want to modulate it as (I believe) the quality will suffer
(anyone do this and very happy with the results?). I presume Keith's
switcher is still many months off (guess based on the fact he is
still working on it and it takes a long time to get to production).
So, the alternative (or one of them) is to use a video matrix
switcher. There are many available around the 8/12/16 in/out variety
with RS232 and front panel control and can be had for around £1000
(dealer price).
1) Has anyone got this type of solution?
2) What connectors in each outlet are best (F type, BNC, RCA etc)?
3) I presume CT100 cable is fine (which I have already got and plan
to install)
4) How many cables would you run to each outlet?
Thanks,
Paul.
