I am hoping the CAT6 for remote HDMI works well. I just paid a grand to have that put into a house I am having built. This will allow me to have all FE/BE in the basement. The cable runs are around 50feet typically. I bought some dual cat6 ---> HDMI adapters from monoprix for pretty cheap.<br>
<br>Anyone used these? <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Aug 24, 2010 at 12:54 PM, Raymond Wagner <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:raymond@wagnerrp.com">raymond@wagnerrp.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">

Uses also include a NoMachine server for Family use.<br>
<br>
I am thinking that I would like to use VMware or VirtualMachine but that causes problems.<br>
Does anyone have any ideas for how to combine some or all of this?<br>

You don't want to try to run a frontend using any of these. They just aren't designed to handle video.<div class="im"><br>

A frontend dedicated just for a Nvidia 210 forf HDMI for each TV seems wastefull.<br>

Sure, but it's ideal. If you suspend or power them down, they will consume next to no power. While you /can/ run multiple X servers on a single machine, you're going to have to give them each their own dedicated video card. The drivers aren't designed to be run otherwise. You're also going to run into problems with inputs, and differentiating between what IR receiver goes to what TV.<div class="im">

The MythBackend could also be a frontend, but that is only one gone.<br>

This is do-able, but a backend like you described is going to be loud and noisy, or you're going to spend a lot of effort trying to dampen it. I wouldn't advise this unless you've got a wall between you and the TV.<div>
