Re: Cabling for Home Cinema Projector ?

Quoting...
For the run up to the projector mounted on the ceiling I used Delta 75-ohm
min-coax. Each cable contains 4 coaxes and I ran 3 separate cables giving
me
12 coaxes in total. This allows me to feed composite, S-video and component
signals up to the projector. I also ran two CAT5s from the projector back
to
node zero.  The projector has 2 relay outputs that close when powered on
and
I make use of this later to set a flag in HomeVision.

Several years later and the AV Room is finished.  You can see the way the
sides swing down (using kitchen cupboard hinges) on the MDF box that was
built around the ceiling bracket.  This gives a nice tidy look.  Inside the
box is a AD10 controlled mains socket so the power to the projector can be
controlled remotely.  Although I ran 3 x multicore coaxs to the projector,
if I was doing it now I would probably just go with CAT5 instead and use
Keith Doxey's KAT5 units.
