Fw: Re: HDMI Over CAT5 Gets Affordable

[Gareth Cook <g@xxxxxxxxxx>]

:-)

You are right tho - in our KAT5 world we're used to multidrop - not a=20
point to point.

But then KAT5 is a half way house as we cant matrix switch it.

Yes - that's the point (although I wouldn't have put it so bluntly!) ;)

Many of us have AV distribution systems - the ability to add in HDMI=20
through an existing Cat5 structured system rather than running new (and=20
expensive) HDMI cables to multiple points would be great.

Just need to think about HDMI switching next (although only two of my TV's=
=20
have this capability so far).
