Hi there!, ive some little doubts before i proced with some custom soldering stuff, id like to have some more info..
Just bought a 32" Toshiba 1080p LCD TV and wanted to connect it to my pc for hdef movies/ expanded desktop and stuff..
So..the problem is: my PC and my new TV are each at the opposite side of my theater room, took measures and its about 12~15mts (35~50fts aprox.), ive a few hundred Cat5e meters and lots of experience soldering RGB/DVI Tips, so i was planin on cuttin some random 6 feet hdmi cable to half and then solder an extension to the cables using Cat5e just following the current color code inside cables.
Also, ive been doing some research, and i found out that some of this "Cat5 Adapters" go from HDMI to a single UTP (Cat5e) cable or 2 UTP Cables..
Ive observed in some of the hdmi diagrams that there are 19 pins, but it would look like some of 'em can be skipped, id like to know if its possible to fit the cable signal within 2 cables of UTP (being 16 rigid cable lines in total, otherwise another line of UTP would be wasted for only 3 more cable lines) and which one can i skip..
Perhaps ill write a step by step tutorial of this, 'cause there seems to be not much about customizin your own hdmi cables with the materials you may have at hand..
Was wondering if it would be fully compatible with my tv and if there could be any troubleshootin at that distance, any advice over this would be appreciated, thanks!
