Please log in for more thread options I am about to start building a new home, in which I would like to have a "video distribution" system, for distributing video and radio signal to each room. Can you please advise whether this is feasible and what type of hardware/wiring would be needed? thanks | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Depends on what you are calling 'video'.... Distributing modulate composite video and/or CATV and SAT is easy using a decent RF amplifier and RG6 coax to each room. Distributing Component video to each room is much more costly and wire intensive. Distributing radio to each room could be done with speaker wires from a centralized amplifier and radio source and impedance matching switch and/or volume controls, or you could use an ethernet backbone running cat5e/cat6 to each room and stream audio to network aware devices or PC's. You could also use your RG6 video backbone to distribute audio from modulated digital SAT music channels to all your TV speakers. Lots of choices. Depends on what you want to spend and the flexibility/scalability that you want. Robert | ||||||||||||||||

There is an author ("Affordable Home Theater" rings a bell as to the title of his book), who has a Web site with lots of details. As I am away from the office, and on my laptop, I do not have the URL bookmarked. Do a Google for the above title and variations. Seems that the book was only about US$25 @ Amazon, and the Web site had lots of ideas. I'll check, when back from vacation, and see if I can locate the URL for you. Good luck with Google, Hunt | ||||||||||||||||
