I am doing some cabling in my house. One of the tasks is to provide transmission of the audio-video signal from the living room (Playstation 3, Popcorn Hour A-110, Itgate TGM-220) to the kitchen. Of course, being able to watch TV in the living room. Of course, there should be ability to use any source with any TV, independently.
I am going to use Component signal for Video distribution and Digital for Audio (is that sane?). Of course, I will need some matrix switch. The next question is whether I should just use one long Component cable (~10m) or implement some Cat5-based solution? What are the advantages I'd get with Cat5? For a moment, I do not see any (I see the disadvantage: price). But may be there is something I just did not think of?..
In terms of brands: can anyone comment on Shinybow switches and CAT5 distribution products? They seem relatively cheep.
Thanks!
