Residential Video Distribution
What is Residential Video Distribution?
Residential video distribution systems allow homeowners to deliver high-quality video content across multiple displays throughout their home. These systems enable seamless access to TV broadcasts, movie streaming devices, gaming consoles, and security cameras – all managed from a central location.
Modern residential video distribution setups provide consistent 4K/8K image quality across various rooms without the clutter of multiple devices or cables.
What Equipment is Used in Residential Video Distribution?
Key components of a residential video distribution system include:
Applications
Scenario:
- A homeowner wants to stream live TV and media player content to TVs located in the living room, kitchen, and bedrooms without installing multiple set-top boxes.
Solutions:
- 4K HDMI matrix switchers to route sources to selected rooms.
- HDBaseT extenders for long-distance runs to bedrooms or patio areas.
- HDMI splitters for duplicating signals to multiple displays.
In the diagram below, we showcase how the BG-MVS4X4-4KL Matrix Switcher and Video Wall Processor can be seamlessly integrated into a home entertainment system. With support for 4-in, 4-out video matrixing and versatile video wall processing – ideal for 2x2 video walls – users can enjoy up to four sources displayed across multiple TVs or combine them into a single, immersive video wall experience. For extended coverage, the BG-EXH-150C 4K HDMI HDBaseT Extender Kits allow HDMI video sources to be transmitted over distances of up to 490 feet, making them perfect for distributing content across larger homes or residential spaces. Additionally, the system offers convenient app-based control, enabling users to manage their setup directly from their smartphone or iPad.
Scenario:
- A family creates a home theater setup that combines a Blu-ray player, a gaming console, and a cable box, all routed to a projector and secondary TV screens.
Solutions:
- 4K HDMI switchers to switch between Blu-ray, gaming, and TV.
- HDMI scalers to optimize video output for both projector and flat screens.
- Short-distance HDMI extenders to simplify clean installation.
The diagram below illustrates a straightforward setup for centralizing and routing multiple sources to a single video projector in a home theater environment using a 4x1 8K HDMI switcher. This configuration ensures seamless switching between connected devices for a versatile viewing experience. Additionally, the diagram highlights a direct L/R audio connection from the switcher to an external speaker system, providing enhanced audio for a truly immersive experience. With eARC support, the BG-8K-HS41A HDMI switcher can also connect effortlessly to eARC-compatible audio systems, including modern TVs and soundbars, ensuring high-quality audio transmission without complexity.
Scenario:
- A homeowner installs outdoor TVs on the patio and near the pool, aiming to share the same content from a living room media player. Blu-ray player, a gaming console, and a cable box, all routed to a projector and secondary TV screens.
Solutions:
- HDBaseT extenders with weatherproof setup to connect outdoor TVs.
- HDMI splitters to broadcast a single source across indoor and outdoor displays.
- IR extension kits for remote control access from the patio.
The diagram below demonstrates how our long-range HDMI signal splitter can seamlessly distribute a single source from your home’s entertainment center to multiple outdoor viewing areas, including the main patio and poolside patio. Setup is straightforward: connect the source device to the splitter’s HDMI input, then use HDMI outputs from the receivers to connect to each TV.
