RE: Video over Cat5 (Best Option with IR Return?) {Scanned for Viruses}

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

Kat5 modules have PERFECT quality - I've got something like 18 of the
critters (must count them one day!).

I use them to distribute DVD, Sky+ (via a special RGB pair), CCTV etc -
also use one pair to also send digital audio (from Sky+ - DD 5.1 on the
three movie channels). You won't find anything cheaper - in fact the
alternatives from the big boys like Extron etc are VERY expensive.

You may want to look at the video I produced of the last UKHA meet - I
interviewed Keith D (Kat5 creator) about his latest Kat5 bits:
