Hi,
I'm new to all of this cool stuff so please be patient.. 8O
Currently I have my Meedio PC sitting in the lounge. Video is connected to Panasonic CRT-TV via VGA to SCART & 5.1 sound to Yammie Amp via 3.5mm to RCA connectors. All controlled using Pronto and USB-UIRT IR unit.
My plan is to move & hide the Meedio PC and NAS server (with DVDs/ HD WMVs) in a cupboard somewhere, and then route the audio and video over Cat5 using the Kat5 modules. (into the lounge 1st - then into other rooms)
I tried S-Video to S-Video before on the CRT and it was horrible (lots of lines) despite modifying the refresh rates.
The questions:
Since I'm using VGA to SCART will I see a degredation in picture quality if I used the kat5 solution ?
How good is the S-Video picture quality on an 32" LCD (part of the upgrade I planning - better than CRT)?
Can I send the 5.1 Audio (via SPDIF) and the DVD / HD WMV files over 2 separate CAT5 cables at the same time - would this require 2 transmitters / receivers in the lounge?
Would I need anything else to send the IR signals back to the PC in the cupboard?
I think that will do for starters..
Thanks for all your help :?
