betty boop Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Just now, LostIdentity said: Yes.. we are talking about trigger cable from screen to projector right? there is nothing running like that.. Unless you are saying two trigger wires.. 1 from projector to amp and 2nd from screen to amp?? perhaps confused things wiht my last post. indeed you run trigger screen to projector. but i imagine your screen is near the amp. for me it was a very short run amp to screen. sparky installing the power outlet for motorised screen also helped me wiht that run while he was running the power. he and i pulled both cables through same time. all a trigger cable is a 3.5mm mono plug and two wire cable to another 3.5mm mono plug. run ot amp and then you run this ALONG with your hdmi cable. both hdmi cable and trigger cable can go from amp location to the projector. any installer will run them together. pull them both together if cant source a trigger cable. ask your installer to. if they cant suggest get another installer ! as any installer refusing would have to be a numpty to not only be able to source or run. as i said i made my own with two mono 3.5 plugs. this is kind of thing they do day in day out. hook wire for the trigger is about 5c a meter and mono plug is $1.25 ea !!! so looking at $3 for the 10m trigger cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes so between screen and amp nothing is running.. Between screen and projector nothing is running There will be a coundit between projector and amp.. So we will need to run another conduit with trigger wire between projector and screen? 53 minutes ago, betty boop said: unnecessary in my opinion for 10m, but its your money. there is NO point 2nd guessing 8k, Hmm..

I guess you mean the following stuff. Distance between screen and projector will be perhaps 4m..

So we will need to run another conduit with trigger wire between projector and screen? generally what will do is run conduit between amp and projector. you wouldnt run a conduit from amp to screen. you would just run the 2 wire cable. unlikely in a 3 blue moons that is ever getting replaced. no need. 1 hour ago, LostIdentity said: Hmm..

Or leave it as is? its upto you. but too late to be sourcing anything else i would suggest and the comsol you'd want t test and make sure good. 1 hour ago, LostIdentity said: its a simple sparky doing my install as I am telling him what to pull where and giving him all the wires.. So not sure how handy he is with the mono plugs and trigger wire.. he is simply laying them as per my say.. if a simple sparky cant run a simple 2 wire cable and deal with mono plugs at each end ...they should hand in their electrical license wiring up a mono plug is kind of thing i did with the dicksmith kits when was a teenager ! 1 hour ago, LostIdentity said: I guess you mean the following stuff.

(not the wire but the sparky / coundit etc) as i indicated to you it is a simple thing and about $5 in parts from jay car even less if only 5-6m we are looking at about about $3 worth ! as to sparky running a 2 wire pre plaster is probably lucky if 10min work !

LostIdentity Posted January 8, 2020 Author Share Posted January 8, 2020 @betty boop Got the following from Jaycar https://www.jaycar.com.au/3-5mm-miniature-plug-black/p/PP0114 x 2 pc https://www.jaycar.com.au/bell-wire-sold-per-metre/p/WB1700 x 6m <-- The guy there said he himself uses these on his projector?? Correct one I am guessing I think overall pre build wiring is sorted 1) 14 AWG Speaker Wires 2) RuiPro 10m cable for projector 3) Trigger wire 6m (as above) for screen to projector 4) Just need to source a 2m HDMI for TV to Amp 5) 1 x CAT6 run from each point - projector , screen and TV to my switch?? or to amp?? Anything else I am missing? For hardware I am currently now tilting towards 1) Paradigm speakers 2) Epson Projector 3) Grandview or EliteScreen motorised screen 4) Peerless PRG-UNV Mount 5) Denon (maybe) Amp (was first thinking Yamaha) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Passin Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I have recently built a HT. Few tips I may offer. My Hdmi Installed by builder could not run epson 9400. I bought ruipro later. Ducts of heating and cooling to be a little away from ceiling speakers to avoid issues with sound from speakers. How to locate cables left in ceiling and walls. I took lots of photos while in construction and showed to HT installer. I should have done this better. All the best. I went with yamaha avr . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hopefullguy Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) price... that what it usually comes down to. also available from where op wants to shop. the main thing is having the features you want, process more channels than you currently need incase you expand and enough pre outs should you want to experiment/add an external amp.

blybo Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 If the ceiling plaster is not in yet, ask the builder (or do it yourself if they allow you) to put timber between joists where you want to mount your projector. I have the peerless mount for my JVC and I was lucky that I could put 2 of the 4 screws into a joist, the other 2 are using heavy duty plaster plugs. It's good enough, but not ideal. Definitely run the trigger wire as some drop down screens use RF remotes rather than IR. Mine did in my previous home. A Harmony remote will not control RF devices. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZYHD Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 (edited) On 07/01/2020 at 5:40 PM, LostIdentity said: Yep I am in fact thinking of getting the 8k version of it.. no ? Its up to you but the 8k Ruipro HDMI Fibre Optic Hybrid cable is around 50% of sales these days and suitable for those that want to future proof and HDMI 2.1 is not that far away, if not the 4k version all Ruipro Brand cables in all lengths are guaranteed to current HDMI specifications, thin and easy to instal and do not require a power supply. Apparently these 10m HDMI cables are thick @ 24awg so keep in mind the bend radius. Before purchase read 10m+ 4k owners reviews on HDMI Fibre Optic and HDMI copper cables to see if they work in all 4k situations.
