Executive Overview
Joe Cornwall of Impact Acoustics and Cables to Go discusses why
cables do indeed matter when considering your wiring needs for a whole
house audio installation or home theater. When generating a cable list
for your home theater it's important to consider not only what your
devices are, but length, signal type and intended use - both now and
future. Failure to consider all options can result in a
misconfiguration and lots of work down the road.
Topics include:
- Why wiring matters
- The various "flavors" of HDMI
- What is HDCP?
- HDMI and DVI limitations
- Digital audio Signals
- Analogue audio signals
- Cable construction
- Cat5e and signal transport
- Analogue A/V limitations
- Multi-room vs. multi-zone
- The computer as a media component
- RF modulation and HDTV video distribution
It's a dynamic presentation and one that most audioholics won't want to miss out on.
