It is a fact of life that make our lives slowly, but surely ruled by television, not as we do on television is controlled, but there is always a feature of modern homes have a TV in every room.

For example, the Home Authors We have a total of 4 TV is located;

In the living room - of course.
In the kitchen - saw during cooking or cleaning.
Observed in the bedroom - in the morning and last night.
In children - because they do not want the same clockThings to do.

Television are up to 4 types of content, Sky free view, DVD and Blu-ray, all in different places around the home is conducted.

It would obviously be desirable, all content on all TV's depending on the room is the viewer would see. There are many methods available to do so and this article was written to discuss the pros and cons of the individual.

Wireless Video Sender (No Hi-Def)

This is always the method that people try first withmixed results. They are usually of a transmitter and a receiver that connects to the source (individual) wirelessly via SCART and transmits video and audio into the receiver (which is connected to the TV remote again with a SCART). There are 2 flavors of wireless video transmitter, use the 2 separate frequency bands 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Overall, the 2.4-GHz channels are much cheaper, and for good reason. Unfortunately, you probably already have a variety of devices in the apartment with the 2.4 GHzFrequency band and baby monitors, Door Bells and wireless networks. All these are disturbing the video transmitter to make the picture unwatchable. The 5-GHz channels are better but still not perfect.

Wireless video transmitter (n Hi-Def) are useful as a quick fix, but suffer from these problems;

- Interference from other devices
- Low resolution signal
- General Single Source
- Wireless Video Transmitters (High Definition)

To be High Definition Video Sender relatively new and as such, is still very expensive at the time of writing, we are only 2 models in the United Kingdom;

Gefen Wireless HDMI Transmitter

Both models are equipped with connections for different input devices (so you can Sky HD, Blu-ray player, etc. simultaneously connect the connection.

The main problem with the previous 2-devices is that they do not say "through" local television there is no way the TV room, which come into contactBack> HD sources as well as the sender, without any additional equipment, the only way is currently using an HDMI splitter. This is mainly because these products are intended for use in a room on the HD sources mounted on a wall in relation to TV or projector where wiring would be a problem. In these cases, the performance of wireless HDMI video channel is very good and have not suffered from disorders such as low def sender.

Wired Setup --Coaxial

This was generally the easiest way to distribute video-home (especially Sky), as most homes have (antenna port) is already in most rooms to attract. With Magic Eyes and Sky RF2 output on the back of the Sky boxes, you can see the Sky in every room and can change channels from the TV remote control. The main problem is that the coaxial cable is very old technology that has set of modern equipment, which means you can not find a coaxialany DVD player or even a Blu-ray.

Installation of cable - HDMI

HDMI is definitely the connection method of choice for video signals in high definition. It is an established technology with a wide range of connectivity products available such as;

- HDMI Switch - to connect multiple sources an HDMI port.
- HDMI Splitter - for connecting the TV to a multiple source, ie, a TV room and kitchen to the same source.
- Connect the HDMI Splitter - theSwitch Functions separator and above.
- HDMI-matrices - These perform the same function as the switch up, but you can see from various sources in different media Blu-ray television in the lounge, Sky in the kitchen.

With a combination of previous devices, you can build any system of distribution of high definition for your home.

However, there are some problems with HDMI;

Cable length - The maximum length of HDMI cable is realistic about 15m. For lengthsbe used for HDMI Extender.

Cable Management - Unable to make your own HDMI cable connectors, ensuring that order, to buy the proper length cable and route to the terminals are connected. The other problem with HDMI cables is that they are quite thick and stiff (like her) in as many individual threads.

Wired Setup - CAT5 / 6

CAT5 / 6 cable is the same type of cable are used as computer networks worldwide. It is much easier to routeHDMI cable and the faceplates and connectors are freely available.

A how Hi-Def signals over CAT5 / 6, you need HDMI CAT 5 / 6 HDMI Baluns these children have at one end and then spit out a CAT5 / 6 compatible with the signal at the other end. At the other end of the cable span more converts BALUN CAT5 / 6 back to HDMI.

The main problem with using CAT5 / 6-to-HDMI signals to be distributed there is a point-to-point solution, and we can not grow without the number of beneficiaries that flowsOther lengths of CAT5 / 6 of the source.

Fixed line installation - TCP / IP (also known as HDMI-Over-IP bekannt)

HDMI-Over-IP has the same advantages as CAT5 / 6 (ie, will be) the same wire, but is a solution, ie, many channels from one server to multiple recipients. This means that the system can easily be expanded in the future, and cheap.

According to the author to use the best way to distribute your video today at home, HDMI connections for a nearby component (iethe living room) and then with HDMI-In intellectual property systems for longer trips.

An example of such a system can be found at the home of the author, see below for an example.

Lounge

Blu-ray -> HDMI Switch

SKY + HD -> HDMI Switch

HDMI Switch -> TV and HDMI-Over-IP Transmitter

Kitchen

HDMI-Over-IP Receiver -> TV

Bedrooms

HDMI-Over-IP Receiver -> TV

Kids Bedroom

HDMI-Over-IP Receiver -> TV

ThisTherefore, any TV can show the house to what is shown in the TV room. The HDMI-Over-IP solution allows remote control of signals also travel back to the network, which means that programs can also change the room, etc.

In the future, you can use HDMI to HDMI switch from an array of update that allows us to see the different sources in different rooms.
