Re: HDMI over CAT5

[Ben McCormack <yahoogroup@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I attended a HDMI presentation at CEDIA last week and was led to
believe th=
e cheaper HDMI over CAT5 units down convert to composite and then push
down=
CAT5 and reconvert at the other end. So while the plasma may report 1080p =
it is not.

Not sure how true this is but it made sense to me.
