Re: [Avid-L2] Mac in one room, monitors in another.

We have two different variants of their cat5 dvi extenders.  They suck on one level, but on another level have worked more or less reliably, HD, for years.  (The set in my bay have to be restarted about every other day as they seem to get confused).  I can't exactly recommend them whole-heartedly, but I don't know a better option.

Maybe try out the newer fiber optic ones?
