RE: Fw: [comfort-technical] New Inexpensive A/V Distribution System over CAT5

Hi Phil,
=20
I was looking at the scion kit recently too =96 however being somewhat
inexperienced when it comes to av distribution, which, In your opinion
(and anyone else=92s for that matter!) kit would you look at using or
stocking ?
=20
So, by all accounts to keep the quality of the source equipment and
distribute around the home, s-video would need to be used ? rather than
composite ?
=20
Lots of questions this morning,
Thanks in advance,
=20
Jonathan.

That's absolutely right Rob ... Composite only - as I said in my
previous
post that was why we didn't want to carry it as a product (apart from
the
fact that the price was also prohibitive). It was also a bit limited in
its
switching abilities ... Didn't have enough inputs and outputs for what
either Mike or I would need (and also we felt that customers would
expect
more too) ...=20

... Plus of course you're looking at about =A380-=A3100 for each of the
"ends"
to get the signals from the source device into the switcher and from the
switcher into the TV (and the 3-phono composite+stereo audio receiver
end is
a lot more than the SCART version too which seems off).=20
