Hi all,
Newbie here - and enjoying reading the forum so far.
I am looking for the best and cost effective way in distribution for linking from a control area for a conference etc.
I am using a simple Roland V1-HD and want to come out of that and into my 2 x projectors, 1 x comfort monitor and link into 4 x relay screens (46" TVs) around the room.
I have looked at both HDbaseT and SDI.
I have been recommended to go fully Cat6, but linking TVs around the room, to get a link through from 1 x TV to another seems very expensive on Cat6 - so I have looked at the Black Magic Micro Convertor which I can stick one on each TV and use SDI and probably do Cat 6 to get to my projectors?
Is is ok to run it like this:
Roland V1-HD HDMI - HDbaseT out, to HDbastT in at projector to a HDMI splitter and feed 2 x projectors from that - and from the HDMI splitter feed into BMD Micro convertor and link all TVs up from that?
Also is there a delay in running a mix of Cat6 and SDI?
or best to keep it all in one way?...i keep getting told to stick with Cat6 as SDI is now an old format?
Thanks for any advice all!!!
Also I have a job coming up where I might need to link 8 TV screens together, and the BlackMagic micro convertors look perfect for this?...but I cant have any lag / lip sync issues.
