As far as load bearing studs. The ones to the sides of the window could be if its a load bearing wall.

I have used Stimpson Stong-Tie Stud Shoes, when I had to install a 2" PVC waste line though the 2x4 studs on a load bearing wall for my kitchen remodel. Purpose is to add structural integrity to the studs after cutting out the hole/notch, so could possibly use them here as well to add structural integrity and nail protection for the conduit. Would have to ask AHJ.

Here in the Big Apple this is commonly referred to as "greenfield" This is just an example. It is available in various diameters, I've used this in most fireplaces I've installed TV's over. It's available in aluminum, steel, and plastic coated

Brad,
I do plan on using passive cables + Brent's GA1. I also want to add the flex tubing. Overkill? Maybe. But I will sleep better.

When speaking of pre-wires, there is never such a thing as overkill. Over budget, over completion date, over time... maybe. But never overkill.

That's not correct. We just finished a large (true) UHD project with Crestron DM and QM-RMC. All on Cat6. The matrix and scalers will support that at the highest resolution and frame rate. (oddly, better than fiber with Crestron at the moment)

Quote:
Right now is a good example, you can NOT run true 4K (18gps) over cat anything cable. It has to be fiber or HDMI cable.
3/4" is just to small to pull some things with significant connectors on it. Need at least 1" size minimum. Wider is better.
And depending on the bends and how many, 1" is absolutely to small for soft, delicate, large head cables.

See post 20 (and 21) for quoting instructions.

Thanks for the correction.
Brent hadn't said anything about it recently and I'm not a Crestron dealer, so didn't know. Now I know.

Missed this one, however the highest data rate that ANY cat/6 product can support without compression is:
4K/60, 4:2:0 color with 8 Bit Video, this fall in under the 10 Gbps barrior of the Valens HDBaseT processor. You can also support (barley) 4K/24, 4:2:0 color, 8 Bit, HDR with in the 10 Gbps limit.
There were announcements (some private and some public) about two future options (HDBAseT and IP) to support 4K/24, 10 Bit, HDR over Cat/6, however both involved compression and have not been demoed.

The only way currently to go further than 5 meters with consistent 4K/24, 10 Bit, HDR or 4K/60, 8 Bit, 4:4:4 is with one of these 4 options:
Nordost 4K Active cables (12 Meters)
Velox (Ethereal) 4K Active Cables (15 Meters)
MHX (Ethereal) Passive Cable with the GA1 (17 Meters)
Tributaries Fiber (30 meters)
