I thought it would be a big help to many if there is a tip thread for HDMI over Cat5/6. Maybe a sticky if enough information gets accumulated here.
Ok here's my dilemma.
I have all monoprice stuff, its cheap, but it should work as advertised.
Setup:
All source components in a media closet run to 4x4 matrix switch-then to HDMI over Cat5 baluns-to patch panel-over Cat5e-to Receiver Balun-to Pioneer Elite VSX-03-TXh-to Panasonic G10 Plasma.
All HDMI cables are 24 awg wires, intermediate cables are Cat6, while structured wiring is Cat5e.
I have handshake issues with Directv intermittently, especially when I flip on or off recessed lighting.
PS3 will not complete handshake at all.
Xbox360 very flaky, sparklies, drops out instantly.
Question: Do HDMI extenders help? It seems like the hdmi signal is too weak when it gets to the end components. Is there any way to "boost" the signal?
Feel free to post ANY suggestions, someone might be able to use them if I cant.
Please HELP!!!1
