RE: CAT5 vs. Wire ---- LESS ----

["Roger" <roger@xxxxxxx>]

All devices seem to be going this way... it is much easier to configure any
device via a web page, rather than by some microscopic setup buttons,
switches, etc, then of course you can start building virtual control panels
using XML to control the functions - preferably via a wireless device such
as an IPAQ, etc

IPV6 will (hopefully) fix the latency problems

Amplifiers may well become IP devices.

Pro Audio is already taking that route.

Whilst they currently use dedicated networks to connect devices, full IP
connectivity is the next logical step.

Crestron and AMX used to be remotely configurable via a dial up modem, they
are now Internet enabled. HomeVision has also taken that route so it will
only be a matter of time before Consumer electronics follows. Get the CAT5
installed NOW :-)

Tony,

I don't know that I agree.

At the moment, I use CAT5 cabling to do things like run the _rear_
outputs from my Dolby Digital decoder round to the rear amplifier and
speakers. For this, obviously, I use KAT5.

I _don't_ see that things like amplifiers will become IP devices...
Granted, I could, even today, take the rear-channel out as an SP/DIF
stream, and pipe that to a DAC at the other end. I'm even willing to
believe that I could do this on a LAN... but would it be sensible?

Yeah, but it's more fun to take the mick :)

As for the sports vs estate comparison.
ATM perhaps, but with 802.11a etc just around the corner, the will be
less
and less difference speed wise between the two - indeed many corporate
lans
limit workstations to 10mb links anyway, which 802.11g exceeds
Of course, I am only taking about data networks here - not wireless
alarms
etc, which is a whole other ball game.
_one_ day, everything will be an internet device with it's own IPNG
address,
connecting via secure wired/wireless link to the home lan.  _then_ there
will be no need for wired vs wireless arguments.......
