New member here. I've been lurking on the forum for a while now trying to figure out all the A/V out for a new home I am about to build. What a huge help! I've been able to find answers to almost all my questions from previous threads. One question I still have relates to how to pipe 4k media from a central location to several TV's around the house.
The house I am building is three floors with a 5x8 media closet in the basement. The plan is to house all A/V equipment there and then to distribute video via HDbaseT/CAT 6 to six TVs throughout the house. My question is, will this setup be able to support 4k bluray when it comes out later this year? I know that 4k baluns haven't come out yet, so my concern is mostly with the wiring. I heard that HDMI 2.0 will support 18 Gbps and my understanding is that CAT 6 will only do 10. Should I be running CAT 7 to the TV locations or even fiber?
Thanks for your help!
