Structured Wiring

By now you have read many of my posts regarding home theater setup, home theater control, and home theater optimizing.
The structured wiring topic is a conversation you'll need to have with your builder or installer before you finalize your home theater design. Structured wiring applies to the entire home, media rooms and home theaters being part of that. Having a robust structured wiring infrastructure will allow you to have more control over your media room and home theater or even more control within your home... Structured wiring is much more than multiple audio and video cables although those are included. Structured wiring is mainly a means of future proofing your home for updates not considered yet. Data lines, the type used for networking are used for carrying video from room to room, voice from room to room, or music streams including metadata from room to room. Structured wiring serves as the hub of your low voltage nervous system. With proper structured wiring design and installation you will have complete control over all audio sources, video sources, data, voice, CCTV, networking, printers, file sharing, and televisions. Imagine listening to your library of MP3 files in your bedroom through ceiling mounted speakers by using your remote control instead of dropping your iPod into a local dock. Imagine having one Blu-Ray player which can send HD video to every room in your home via Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet wire. Imagine using a wall keypad to play your favorite artist or genre throughout your entire home during a party. Even control your AV receiver located in another room via an IR remote, not RF remote. The possibilities are endless!
