Hi there,
My partner and I are currently in the beginnings of extending our property and I'm looking for some clarification on the cabling requirements, and hardware to support the output of TV feeds to multiple destinations.
During the extension work we also plan to re-wire the property, so I'll be taking that opportunity to run Cat6 Cabling throughout, and centralising everything from an A/V perspective. Initially, there will only be 2 Televisions around the house; one in the lounge (with 5.1 surround) and a single unit in the Kitchen, we may add others in the future as the family grows.
I'm also looking to run a single Coax to each of the locations where the Televisions are as a backup. Input wise, we currently have Freeview, Media Box and a Blu-Ray player. Obviously I'll be adding in an AV Receiver at some point for the surround sound, this may be later on down the line when finances allow.
I think I understand that I'll need some sort of HDMI Matrix to provide this, I'm just not entirely sure on my options. I've read that some require all the TVs to have matching Sound output (which won't be the case for us), so I was looking for a little clarification on that if possible. Would this be the case if I went with a Matrix system?
Many thanks
