In my family room, behind my LED television I have 4 CAT5 cables. The TV may or may not be 3D - this may need a HDMI 1.4 balun of some sort, since I didn't run HDMI to this TV due to long distance.
In my wire closet I have the following AV components planned
1 Yamaha Receiver
1 Russound MCA-C5
1 FIOS Cable Box
What is a good price point high quality IR brand/model componentry that will be reliable using the native remotes for the above.
I started looking at the Xantech stuff but got confused as to what I actually need. With the Russound I do not plan to use Keypads.
Not sure what that means as far as their IR stuffy stuff.
Do I need one eye, that can control multiple sources, multiple eyes?
Any guidance on specific products/recommendations with seamless high WAF would be appreciated.
In the kids rooms, I am looking for a "cheaper" solution- only have cable box in local closet. 2 CAT 5's. No 3D.
Can I get something that is highly reliable to control the out of sight cable box?
Do I need baluns for IR? I see these things are typically audio rca phono cables?
Any/all help on this is appreciated.
