    Length of individual RG59 runs for component connections

    Guys, thank you all so much for your input. I am now reassured!

    Length of individual RG59 runs for component connections

    Thanks Chu Gai for your helpful response:) Do you mean that if the length difference is > 2.4 feet I should expect some PQ reduction or it just won't work at all? I guess what I am really curious about is whether I will actually be able to display a HD signal (720p/1080i)over these 3 runs of...

    Length of individual RG59 runs for component connections

    Some time ago I wired my home with RG59 for component video using RG59 as recommended by my cablers. I have selected a projector (the Sanyo Z3) and obviously would like to exploit the HD capabilities of it. The cable runs are

    Screen size vs. seating distance

    I auditioned a Z3 recently and tried 2 screen sizes from around 10'. The first was 100" the second 86". The consensus was that 100" was too large although the kids didn't seem to mind. I thought 86" was the maximum I would go to comfortably - so I am getting a 86" fixed screen, which I think is...

    Simultaneous video output on STBs and other devices

    I am setting up a LCD FP in one room and a Plasma in another. If I buy one STB and connect the component connection to the projector will it simultaneously output video via S-video to the plasma? It would be better to have two component outs but I haven't seen one of these. This question...

    Broadcasting 720p/1080i signals over RG6

    Guys, thanks very much for your advice and suggestions. I think I'll stick with SD!

    Broadcasting 720p/1080i signals over RG6

    Thanks for your response Christopher - yes analog component outputs from a HD source. Not being technical I am not sure how to respond to your next question! However, I can describe the physical aspects of my cabling if that helps. I have a video hub and no amplifiers at the moment. Connected to...

    Broadcasting 720p/1080i signals over RG6

    I had intended to try to keep video sources in one room and broadcast them via distribution amps and a modulator onto a RG6 network in my house. I think this will allow me to broadcast a DVD or HD TV source from the one location to all RG6 points in the house. First question - do people do this...

    50" Plasma Advice

    Sim - I agree totally - it really comes down to what you want at the end of the day. I saw the Z3 tonight and was amazed at the quality. I watched a 100" screen from about 10' and found it too large, so I've settled on an 86" screen (2.2m). A 50" plasma wouldn't give the experience I am after...

    50" Plasma Advice

    Goggs, I am in Sydney and have a 4m x 4m room. I always intended to go forward projection using a screen size in the 70-100" range. Recently however I saw some plasmas that made me take notice - I think the best I saw was a 50" fujitsu for $11,000 AUD - I'm sure you would get this down though. I...

    Something Different - A Cabling Question

    lol Derek - yes I do realise that mate, but my cat 5 for data is at other locations - not next to the TV RG6 terminations where these are located. As far as doing the work myself, I probably could have but it isn't a core competency and so I outsourced it. ;) I did a bit of research and came...

    Something Different - A Cabling Question

    Firstly, my apologies for this being a long post. I have a number of questions about cabling. I pre-wired my new house at the time of construction and used a firm of "specialists" to specify and then install the various cabling systems. In summary I installed; A RG6 network for modulating...
