RUstupid? (Posted on 05/16/12, 02:42 PM)
I am a BB Silver member for 5 years. Ask them how important that is. Yet, I am a integrator, and close to 1/3 of my business, is going in after a Geek Squad install or support call, and doing the job right, that wasn’t even closely…

I have been using HDbaseT solutions for years and I love them. About a year ago my wife and bought a new home. We decided to gut the whole thing and build it up from scratch. I knew then that I would be using HDMI to cat5/6 as a home…

I’d also be curious to see Jeff’s list of pros and cons for HDMI over fiber using baluns/extenders, and also for a preterminated product like Rainbow Fish.
Jesus Tossas (Posted on 05/15/12, 03:21 PM)
I have used from Cheap Snap AV binary baluns wish are good so far to key digital, Geffen, Muxlab and Crestron, and the problem that I see most of time is bad RJ45 termination or wire length, other than that I do understand that…
Jonathan Tillett (Posted on 05/15/12, 03:18 PM)
How about the new HDbaseT standard? or HDMI over IP.
stevecoon (Posted on 05/15/12, 02:38 PM)
