Well if you don't like it then either....
=20
a) make your own, spend years refining it and then sell it at no profit
b) don't buy one
=20
It is still miles cheaper and probably a lot better then anything else
commercially available.
=20
How about a congratulations to Keith rather then bitching about the
price.

"Laser Business Systems announce Strategic Alliance with Indigo
Electronics
for KAT5 products
=09
LONDON - 1st August 2005 - Laser Business Systems are delighted
to
announce
an exclusive manufacturing and distribution alliance with Indigo
Electronics. Laser will now manufacture and distribute the KAT5
products
under licence.
=09
The KAT5 range of affordable audio/video modules allow the
transmission of
high quality signals over the CAT5 cables that are being fitted
in many
new
housing developments and bespoke smart homes...
=09
Taking advantage of this "structured cabling" the KAT5 system
allows users
to send pictures and sound around their homes. Laser and Indigo
are
pleased
to announce the launch of the new feature rich Mark 2 units.
Improvements
over the mark 1 include:-
=09
* IR Pass Through - This allows remotely located source
equipment to be
controlled from the viewing room.
=09
* SCART Control - This replicates the SCART Switching signals
from the
source equipment at the viewing room allowing the source to send
a signal
to
switch to widescreen mode on the TV/Projector at the remote
location.
=09
* AVTX Switchable Termination - The transmitter now features
switchable
input termination allowing multiple KAT5 Transmitters to be
connected to
the
same source equipment using simple Passive SCART splitters
rather than
needing expensive active splitters. This also allows a KAT5
Transmitter to
be connected to a source at the same time as a TV.
=09
* AVRX Switchable Termination - The receiver now features
switchable
termination allowing more than one receiver to be fed from a
single
transmitter.
=09
* S-Video Mixdown - A new feature to the AVRX is S-Video
Mixdown. This
allows an S-Video source to be mixed down to composite video for
TVs that
do
not support S-Video signals.
=09
Also available are the AVTX-RGB and AVRX-RGB units, which are
suitable for
carrying high quality RGBS signals to Plasma Screens and
Projectors. Units
are on sale and available now from www.laser.com (worldwide
shipping
available now).
