Most high end multi-room AV installations locate all equipment in a central rack with audio, video, network and control wiring going from the central rack to each location in the home. This was a fairly simple task with Component video runs as it did not have the distance limitations of HDMI and it just worked (no HDCP garbage). Now that everything is moving to HDMI, integrators must find a way to get HDMI signals from the central equipment rack to the various rooms of the house. When running cables through crawl spaces, basements, walls etc these runs can often reach over 100ft which isn't going to happen with a straight HDMI cable. In comes these converters/extenders by NeoPro, Gefen, Atlona and others who will convert the HDMI signal to dual Cat5 or 1-2 fiber runs for long cable runs. So now the AV signal is carried from the rack full of gear in the basement to the LCD on the wall in the bedroom. ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Casey]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mar 10th 2009 1:25PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
