Outdoor Kitchen A/V
Posted by swm0105 on 3/31/15 at 8:44 am00
I am in the process of building an outdoor kitchen at my house and would like to know the best way to connect an outdoor TV to an indoor receiver.
The wire run will be approximately 40 feet.
I've read a bit online that there could be some signal loss with that long of HDMI cabling - is this true?
Would there be any noticeable delay between the picture and the sound since I'm intending on sending the audio to surround speakers?
Thanks for the help.

If you are worried about the distance you can run CAT6 and use an HDMI balun. Sync between picture and sound won't be an issue as long as you don't mix analog and digital signals (i.e. digital video and analog sound).
Sync won't be an issue if you use a balun as it passes audio and video.
example of CAT5 or CAT6 balun
Note that I haven't used the specific product above. The baluns I use are in professional installations so I tend to use something like this Gefen device.

We use this at church. About 100' away.

I'm not a fan of wireless for this application. Particularly as it is outside.

Don't go spend all that money on an expensive balun. I use the product above and it works just fine.
If you don't understand the concept, You have a balun inside and another outside. You will run 2 cat5 cables (much less expensive than HDMI) from one balun to the other.

Is there any pairing, or software to install with this..? We have gone through several products for our projectors at work, trying to find something that a client can simply plug into, and show their screen

If it has to work 100% of the time hard wired is the way to go. Wireless will fail at the most critical moment (when the CEO is in the room).

Semi-different topic, but how is your experience with HDBaseT in general? My current "dream setup" includes a 4x4 matrix switch in a central closet to be controlled in remote zones (3-4 zones). I'm not anywhere close to implementing yet, but I was just curious of someone who has probably done a similar install or two's opinion.
Also, you posted a picture of your home racks in that "post pics of your system" thread. If you've ever got the time to, at least, list the devices, I think it'd be really cool. That's a hell of a setup for what it does, even if people are more impressed with matching McIntosh gear.
