RE: HDMI Distribution over Cat5



That looks good.  I'm not sure why the pricy B&K doesn't support
audio
(isn't that what HDMI is all about, everything down 1 cable?), but the
Intelix unit does.



I'm living in the US now, so not sure your pricing would help me, but if
you think there's something you can do feel free to contact me off list
- the online pricing over here seems to be around USD1400. I'd need the
IR receiver/xmitter too.



Thanks, Pete

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)

Dean.

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:

http://www.opentip.com/Electronics-Computers/Atlona-Hdmi-Matrix-Switcher
-Over-Cat-Cat-p-975459.html

and

http://www.bkcomp.com/products/multi-zone/?tx_ttproducts_pi1[backPID]=23
&tx_ttproducts_pi1[product]=14&cHash=baca0c6f04
<http://www.bkcomp.com/products/multi-zone/?tx_ttproducts_pi1%5bbackPID%
<http://www.bkcomp.com/products/multi-zone/?tx_ttproducts_pi1%5bbackPID%
25>
5d=23&tx_ttproducts_pi1%5bproduct%5d=14&cHash=baca0c6f04>

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
