Background:
I have a PC entertainment setup in one room and an HDTV Home Theater setup in the adjoining room. I want to setup my HD 4870x2 to display on 1080p monitor in the other room to occasionally use the HDTV in the other room. It gets more complicated as I don't have an HDMI enabled receiver so I need to send the audio using Toslink Optical to the receiver in the other from the computer room.
My question is as follows:
The distance can be as much as 5m - 10m. Will there be any signal degradation?
the following are the cables I am planning on using:
TOSLINK - http/www.showmecables.com/viewItem.asp?idProduct=2797 (5m)
HDMI - http/www.showmecables.com/viewItem.asp?idProduct=2758 (5m)
Please advice. I am purchasing this from outside the US so this has to be a one time thing and cannot rely on returning for better/different product etc. Budget is under USD 100.
Thanks in advance to all assistance.
