interesting …
was looking for a review that compared digital & analogue video image quality when going via Cat-5e – eg; HDMI vs Component – including effects of distance – say 10m, 30m, 50m – ideally with various makes of converter / balun … not found anything yet …
well i think muxlub is a good product and would like to get updates.
