While cables are required to connect an AV systems components together I sure don't want to see them cluttering up a room.
There are many different ways to hide cables. There are solutions for hiding cables under floors, boardroom tables and behind walls.
When doing a major renovation there is an opportunity to run the cables under the floor. This was a part of the Regina Henry Baker Hall renovation. The cables run under the floor so they are out of sight yet accessible so that as new technology becomes available cables can be added for system upgrades.
A July 22, 2009 post reviewed the AMX HydraPort and my June 9, 2009 post discusses keeping the boardroom table free of cables.
When cables have to be run up a wall it is best to put them inside the wall. This is not always possible so the next best solution can be to run a channel up the wall to keep the cables as neat as possible. See the picture below with the white channel hiding the video monitor cables.
With some planning you can keep cables out of sight improving the aesthetics and functionality of a room.
