Good Morning,
I'm planning out my cinema room and as always the most expensive cable is the one you didn't run!
I have the ceiling down, all speaker cables and 7 x cat6 cables go back to a hub (one to the projector location). In the hub is a Blustream PLA66L v1 6x6 matrix, which at the moment has only a sky box and bluray player as sources in and one TV out (HDMI over cat6 in a different location)
My question is, how do I connect a projector in the cinema room? I've run a cat6 to the location with the intention of connecting the projector to the matrix with HDMI over cat6, but I'm unsure if this is possible or if I'd need a certain projector to do this.... is it just better to run a HDMI cable, say 10m, to connect the projector to either the matrix or the AVR?
The other question is around controlling the hub located AVR, I guess I just connect this as a source to the matrix, then use one of the 6 cat6 cables and a balun with the IR receiver and an emitter on the other end?
As I'm not going to have a TV in there, what is the best use of the cat6? I was thinking 2 for data, 2 near the sub with one connected as above to control the AVR.... one in behind the light switch for furture Rako type systems???
@Joe Fernand I know you're usually really helpful with these sort of questions
Thanks
