For those giving me shit about this I had a meeting with Metra today, Brent's boss. It was again stated to pay attention to the details, like this 18 gig thing. The rest of it is marketing bullshit (my unfiltered words). 8K TVs are out and more are coming so you better do your homework
For those whining please ask your significant other for your balls back. Except the texan, ask the bull to remove his pecker from your rectum so you will stop whining. This is the f$cking Internet for f*cks sake...

I'm a Crestron fan through and through but that video did a lot more harm than good for the brand. I use Nvx and SVSI regularly and although I prefer Nvx, I can't honestly say I've ever seen an SVSI perform as they show it. If it did, it would have been RMA'd quick smart!!

In regards to the Crestron video and the Just Add Power video, I would like to address the elephant in the room:
Neither video discusses the length of category cable used between the transmit end, the switch, and the receiver.
However, the JAP video clearly shows they are using two 6" patch cords!!
In the real world that would kind of eliminate the need for any type of HDMI-over-Cat product at all.
I've seen demos for products at CEDIA where they used a spool of Cat5 in the demonstration. This was years ago and it was for an audio or composite video over Cat5 product. But at least it showed a real-world situation.

What's wrong is that we are all in different markets.
That says it all. We service different clients with different budgets. Sure everyone would want to own a Bentley or Ferrari but the fact is that very few people can afford cars of this price.
The vast majority can afford and would be happy with a Toyota or Hyundai. They know there is a difference between the Bentley and Toyota but the cost to them does not justify the difference.
The amount of money that some people have boggles my mind. I have worked on some systems, as a sub contrator, that cost 2X the amount of a normal house.
Everyone here has to sell systems that will best suit their clients. Roddy sells the systems that is best for his clients. Ranger sells the systems best for his clients. One size does not fit all.
Everyone should respect everyone because we all have different clients who have different needs and budgets.

I have spent a lot of my time being called to "fix" other peoples work.
And though I agree we all deal with different clients and various levels of systems, one thing I constantly see is money left on the table.
People get clients and can only offer what they are comfortable with. The client doesn't know, they just want something that does what you say it will do.
I meet people that think they own a top of the line system (the Bentley) and what they really have is a middle of the road system (the Camery, or maybe a 3 series BMW) Still a decent system, but if I am there, it's not working 100% and the first CI is out of the picture.
Personally going forward, I think people are slowly moving away from distributed Video through Matrix type of switchers. With so much of what we watch being streamed from ATV or Roku, we really only need to find a way to get Cable or Sat fed around the house. And even those boxes have to be looking at becoming something entirely different in the very near future. Cable is outdated. Not all Cord cutters are all about saving money, some just want to get away from the crappy service and over priced packages they have been forced to pay for. With streaming services you can subscribe to various things and get pretty close to the same number of premium channels that most people enjoy, and the added benifit of being able to watch what you want, when you want.
Distributed video is still a perk and always has been.
My main reason for pitching it to a customer, that has multiple TV locations within the same floor, is because everything is in sync for A/V.
Most homes that I'm in have at least a TV in the living room and the kitchen, if not more, like in an office or den for the kids.
I always bring up the Superbowl party scenario. Select the same box at every room and don't have to worry about the kitchen seeing the touchdown before the living room.
