RE: HDMI Distribution over Cat5

["Dean Barrett" <dean@xxxxxxxxx>]

Pete

Our AV distributor recomends this one Intelix DIGI-HDMI-4X4 www.intelix.com
for HDMI distribution

Havent used it personally, but have used plenty of other Intelix products
and all work very well.

If it looks of interest, let me know and I'll see what pricing we can get
on
it (or any other Intelix that may interest you)

Subject: [ukha_d] HDMI Distribution over Cat5

Hi all



I'm about to buy a house that's been pre-wired with dual-cat5 to each
potential TV location, on the basis that there are now some gizmo's that
can
send HDMI over Cat5 (none of this was my idea, btw).  The 2 that I've found
are:

and

The problem is, both of these cost a fortune, and the latter, which is
recommended by the guy that did the AV cabling, isn't even capable of the
audio bit, so another fancy box would be needed.



Does anybody had ideas on a more economical solution?  Right now there will
be 3 TVs and a projector (all HD), and 4 sources (2 x TiVo, DVD, PC).
They're all in a Node zero (along with Sonos which will take care of music
distribution), along with all the cat5 that's been home run to the same
cupboard.



Any thoughts?



Thanks, Pete
