Distributed Video

Description

Enjoy your favourite TV shows, videos, and movies in any room without the clutter and distraction of cable boxes, DVD players, wires, etc.. The benefits of a well designed video distribution system throughout the home include:

  1. It is easy to use.  One remote to control everything;
  2. It saves space and clutter as electronics and wires are located elsewhere such as in the mechnical room.  All you will have in any given room is the HDTV display and speakers.
  3. There is less equipment to purchase.  (ie: do not need a cable box or DVD for every single TV);
  4. There may be a significant cost savings on cabinetry/millwork;
  5. It allows access to your entire movie and video collection.  All titles will be available through an easy to navigate on-screen menu;
  6. Access of  your stored DVR recording in whichever room you happen to be in. Each DVR will have a name such as "His", "Hers" and "Kids".  You would select "Your" personal DVR for whichever room you happen to be in; and
  7. You can entertain family and friends by presenting a holiday photo slide show in the living room from your office PC.

 

Typical video sources one can include in a distributed video system are:

  1. DVD/Blu Ray disc changers and servers;
  2. Cable or satellite digital video recorders (DVRs);
  3. Personal computers;
  4. Streaming video services from the Interent;  and
  5. Console gaming systems (eg PS3, Wii, Xbox360).
