I'd like to keep two cable boxes, Blueray player, Roku, HT PC, and camera DVR in one central location and have the ability to send video and audio to 4 TVs, possibly expanding to 6 TVs. Ideally, I'd like to be able to control this with my HAI Omni Pro II, so that If the driveway sensor trips or someone presses the doorbell, the TVs will switch to the cameras.
I see 4x4 HDMI matrix switches starting at about $200 and going up to many thousands of dollars. I'm inexperienced in this area. What do I need to know about them? How far can an HDMI signal be sent without running into hiccups? What about audio? IR distribution? I have an original HAI HiFi audio system yet to install, but I don't know if there is one device which would be a better solution.
Thanks for your input and guidance!
