Long time troll here, intrigued by the wealth of information in these forums. Hoping you could help me out with a simple distribution problem.
In my living room, I recently wired a 5.1 in wall system. I have flush mounted my TV with a recessed outlet and connected the AVR via its HDMI output to the TV. The AVR and other components are located in an unused coat closet roughly 6-8 feet from the mounted TV.
Connected to the AVR currently are the following components: PS3, PS4, DirecTV Genie and an Blu-ray player.
I would like to have access to these components via another TV in the bedroom. I believe my main issue is going to lie with the audio (but I could be way off).
Would it be feasible to connect my 4 components to a 4x2 HDMI matrix (like the monoprice one) and output 1 to my AVR (and utilize the 5.1) and output 2 to my bedroom TV via HDMI or HDMI via Cat5e if the run is longer than 25-30 feet?
Would this give me access to separate sources on the two TVs simultaneously? (play PS4 in living room and watch DirecTV in bedroom)
What audio issue could lie within this set-up? The TVs are both Samsung 60" (2013 smart TV) and 42" (2010-11 model)
Thanks for the help in advance,
Cory
