So, in the next few months i plan on purchasing the [newest] Pioneer Elite set (the model with '111' --its the 50"). And soon after, a BR (and yes i know ive said bad things about BR, but for now it seems like a great piece of gear for video fans--and maybe hi-res audio[?]).
Here's the problem: my gear is not near the TV and my pre/pro (Rotel 1068) has no HDMI inputs/outputs.
Here are my questions: Does any one know of 'HDMI over CAT 5' to run between my equipment racks to my TV. the length would end up being just shy of 10 meters)? I can get in to why i feel i shouldn't use a straight HDMI run later if ppl are interested...
I know tributaries has some promising products for this, does any one have any other suggestions. (there is another option i know about but the company has not released the info yet).
ALSO
Im also curious if anyone knows of HDMI to Analog (5/7.1) converters*
or
Analog (5/7.1) switch boxes*
* i ask these since i dont know of any pre/pro or receiver that has multiple 5/7.1 pre-inputs...and what if i had a SACD/DVDA player and PCM/raw/etc. data from a BR...swapping cables would get quite annoying.
