Thanks to the technology geeks at Crestron, better know as their engineers, we can all enjoy music, TV and movies in full HD anywhere in our home. I know that
it's been a while since we've talked but I'm back and have to say happier than ever with Crestron and their new line of HDTV distribution products.
For years we distributed composite (480i) video and in the last decade we decided to really step up and distribute component (1080i) video. It wasn't until recently that we really discovered we needed to give clients and end to end HDMI (1080p) solution. With the "Analog Sunset" just a year or so away we would be doing our clients a dis-service if we didn't approach this technology head on.
The good news is that with the most recent hardware upgrades Crestron can now do this over CAT5/6 cable, though we prefer to use fiber optic cable. The idea that we can pump full bandwidth HDTV to any room in any house at distances of 1000' or more was awesome. The CAT5/6 solution does have some limitations but for the most part is an excellent solution, especially in home where you don't have the option of running new cables.
