I am going to have 3 x HDMI inputs (BT You View, satellite receiver & Blue Ray player) & 2 x TVs, both some distance from the sources. each TV is in a different room. My research suggests that I need an HDMI and HDBaseT Hybrid Matrix. It is an RJ-45 based system but only requires 1 x Cat6 cable from the matrix to each TV. These units can cost thousands of pounds, which I cannot afford. HD do one (4x2 HDBaseT Hybrid Matrix - HDMI and HDBaseT Matrix with Advanced Discrete IR Function and PoE & Octava are about to bring out a new one (Octava 4x2 HDMI Matrix over cat 6. Switch and extend 4 HD video sources to any 3 HD displays, 16 combinations. EDID Management with USB port and RS-232 serial port control. 3D support, Full 1080P. although theirs is expected to be half as much again as the HD one.
The great thing about a matrix is that it allows 1 source to be watched on 1 TV, whilst watching another source on another TV.
Once again I am completely outside my comfort zone. I would welcome any advice going.
