First, let me admit that I didn't do a search to try to find info. I've had a long day.
I'm in the process of building a house and am starting to think about the home theatre room wiring. We're turning the bonus room (22x14x8) into the TV room.
I've started to visit web sites like www.smarthome.com and haven't found the exact answer I'm after.
I'm planning on putting the A/V equipment on the back end of the room (away from the RPTV). This means I'll have a long run for my video connection points.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I'm going to need to run an S-Video and Component wires to the RPTV right? For HDTV, should I be doing some other form of cable instead of component? Meaning I need to run three types of cables forward?
So, with this assumption, I have NOT seen any info to help me get a wall plate for component video.
From what I've read I don't need to worry about the S-video run length... 10 up, 24 over, 10 down = 44 feet is short for s-video using CAT-5 right? Do I need to worry about this for component or whatever other cables I need to run?
I'm not fretting over the speaker wire installation. I've done that one before. The video stuff is new though.
Thanks in advance.
