Hi all, Apologies if this isn't 100% show-control related, but I've been reading the list and it's clear that you're all experts so I thought it worth an ...

Is there a possibility that you could go to BNC connectors (probably in a panel or box of some sort) on the long runs, and then use short relatively cheap BNC...
And maybe cut off the BNC shells so that they are purely pushon. Connection reliability may suffer. But the walk off problem would disappear. {^_-} ... From:...

That doesn't sound like a good plan. The BNCs wouldn't work well since they're a pain/bad idea to put on non-coaxial cable, and they're going to cost you more....

If nothing else remove the screws from the HD-15 ears. That will prevent the connector from being "permanently attached" to a laptop that walks off. Good...

Sorry for the sort of off topic.... Does anyone know if you buy a USB 2.0 controller that if that extra bandwidth is available to a USB 1.1 device that you...
I would not count on it. In fact I'd count on it slowing the 2.0 bus down with the 1.1 level signals on it. {^_^} ... From: "Richard B Ingraham"...

Joanne is right. This is what it is supposed to do if any 'slower' devices are on the same port. Plug in a mouse or keyboard and it could slow it down even...

Adrian, there are several DVD units that can be serially controlled, and all of them can be controlled via IR. You need to locate a model in which OSD - ...
Pioneer and Phillips seem to lead the field in controllable DVDs. It should be simple to do what you want. You'll also hear (I bet) from some group members...

... A USB 2.0 controller will emulate a 1.1 controller when connected to a pre-2.0 device. So, you will get exactly the same throughput and the debug ...
... I should mention a few things about USB. Most (all?) USB 2.0 controllers have a built-in hub and each port's speed is set independently. So, a mouse in...
