Whole House Distributed HDTV
Author: Steven R.Gould
Without having to run expensive, dedicated component video, digital audio and/or HDMI cables to every room.
The various ways to distribute analog, standard definition television around the home are well established. However few, if any of these can be extended to distributing HDTV (High-Definition Television) around the home. In this article we present one way of doing just that.
The solution I chose involved using a VideoStorm CRM88 8x8 Matrix Switch at the center of the system. This could take HD component video and digital optical or coax audio inputs from each device and output any of these inputs to any of up to eight TVs. To distribute the audio and video signals to each outlet I opted to use one of the unused Cat5 cables and a pair of Muxlab 500050 component video and digital audio baluns.
