RE: KAT5 Website Updated



Another option in the meantime is to just run VNC on your monitor-less boxes & control them all from a PC elsewhere.
VNC is free & runs on shed loads of platforms (unlike terminal services!)

Sorry, it was dumb question.
Anyway, I have VGA with TV out already, but you cannot work on TV for more then 15 min. You'll get a headache.
However, Keith says on his web site:

Modules designed so far are

  • Stereo Audio, Composite Video and IR Repeater
  • Stereo Audio and S-Video (Y-C)
  • SVGA Computer Video
  • CCTV (Video Audio and Power)
  • Video Conferencing (Bi-directional Mono Audio and Composite Video)
These are all in the final stages of being turned into Modules and Kits that will be available for sale from this website.
 
So, this means that he already developed SVGA module, just didn't put a price next to it.
This could be interesting, because many of us have restricted space in node 0 and everyone has at least one more PC.
Therefore, many people cannot fit monitor in node 0, but with this solution, they would be able to share it with the one they use as workstation.
 
Cheers,
Nik

You set up like this:
 
AV-Source --into-- KAT5 Tx unit -----------------Cat5/6 to TV room ---------------------- KAT5 Rx Unit -- into -- TV SCART socket.
If you had the holy grail that is the KAt5 switch, you plug the TX unit into the Switch & Kat5 from there to the RX unit, or you plug the AV source directly into th switch, depending on whether or not the TX units are integrated into the switch
 
simple really!

Yes, but how to transmit TV image from node 0 to TV.
I don't have coax in walls, but Cat6 only.

That's what KAT5 is for!  The switcher is not developed yet - the boxes you
see are the transmitter/receivers which plug into CAT5 at one end, and your
appliance at the other.

TV-out card?  Cheaper than developing a new device - my new one arrived
today for the princely sum of £25 all in.  You wouldn't need a monitor then
either - just use the TV.
