I've followed the various threads about using SPDIF to add audio to the Kat5 phono RGB devices, but I confess I'm not entirely clear how this would physically work.
I'm looking to route HD video (satellite and DVD) with surround sound. From what I've read the phono RGBS modules, using SPDIF for sudio, look like the best quality option available to me.
As I understand it, the SPDIF signal is overlayed onto one of the colour signals (R, G or B). However I'm unclear how it gets onto and off that signal (i.e. what connectors do I need to connect the SPDIF input/output on my display or source to the Kat5 TX/RX modules and do I need any box of tricks to overlay the signal - or does it normally come out of / into the source/display devices already overlayed).
Also (and I'm betraying my lack of knowledge of the A/V state of the art here) would I route the SPDIF signal from the Kat5 RX to the display device (are they readily available with SPDIF in?) and then out to the sound amp, or direct to the sound amp?
Many thanks
Nigel
