will this also work if sourced from ps3 or bluray player? meaning the other room also get hd from ps3 or bd player?
pls pm price with n without installation. tq

pm best price bro...

what about digital audio? can this extend the Dolby Digital signal from the Astro Beyond coaxial output too? Or i must rely solely on HDMI for both audio and video...and get an HDMI receiver to transmit digital audio

thx

Dear TS, do you plan for the future product to completely eliminate the Cat5e cables, since the concept of this extender is like connecting uncompressed media from one computer to the other via network and the HDMI cable only delivering those content to AVR/HDTV.

If that is the case, it can also use wifi right? Since not every home owner wants the re-conceal the whole house for this new network cables especially after they've spent so much concealing all visible cable during the first renovation.

Does having a av booster give the same effect? asked an astro contractor and he recommended me to get av booster instead of hdmi. Hmm..

The difference between a HDMI connection and an AV connection is huge. If you already have a HDMI connection to a HDTV, then you will be able to see the vast improvement in picture quality yourself.

This kit allows you to experience the exact same picture quality as on your first HDTV, at a remote location up to 30m away. On top of that, there is a IR relay function as well which allows full IR remote control at the remote location.

Composite and component AV are on their way out as digital technology starts to take over. More and more devices are adopting HDMI ports, and if you have a HDTV, it should be connected using HDMI instead of anything else. The performance difference is well worth the effort and costs involved, if you'd ask me.

Anyone tried Giraffe Wave WHDI? I wonder how much it cost, and where to buy it..

Need to hack the wall to conceal the cables? Now have a plasma downstairs with astro byond n planning to have another hdtv in my bedroom. Plis advise on the installation. Thx

We have been testing several wireless HDMI products, one looking exactly like the one you mentioned in Giraffe's website but with another brand. So far, the prices have been prohibitively expensive (around RM1.5k, without splitter and cables) and the worst part is the picture quality that is very poor. There is significant compression that can be seen, the refresh rate also drops drastically and some of them are not stable.

This is because Wireless HDMI is not an easy thing to do, especially at further distances between the transmitter/receiver. We would certainly like to offer this to our customers right now but we feel that many would be disappointed by the picture quality. Unless the customer is willing to accept these deficiencies of wireless HDMI, we would rather not have an unhappy customer. For now, Cat5e HDMI extensions are the most cost effective solution and will continue to be the best choice for people who are willing to do some rerouting of the cables.

Added on December 30, 2010, 12:07 pmThe cables that we provide are white in colour, and have a diameter of around 4mm each. Hacking of the walls is entirely up to you, as some customers do not mind using cable housings, or clipping it to the corners of the wall or ceiling. Having a plaster ceiling also helps, as this allows you to run the cables across rooms without them being seen. Each customer's house is different, and thus it is difficult for us to offer any further advice without seeing the premises. The best person for the job would typically be your existing contractor/wireman/linesman/electrician. They would be familiar with your house and where the voids are, and usually have experience doing this kind of work.




But if already got plaster ceiling how? Need to hack?
