Distributed video allows you to send the signal from 1 video source (Cable box, DVD, Satellite, VCR, etc.) to any or all the televisions in the house. This prevents having to put costly components in each room, but you still get all of the functionality.
Picture your house with Flat Panel Televisions mounted on the wall. Where are you going to put your source equipment? You can have your equipment on a stand or rack with the cables in plain sight, which negates the effect of having a flat panel to begin with, or you can choose to hide the equipment so all you see is a profesional installation where the source video is sent to the Display from a hidden location.
Another scenerio:
You're having guests over for a cocktail party and they will be spread throughout the house. You can have the big game playing or maybe you'd like your vacation pictures displayed on all your Televisions simultaneously. That is what Distribted Video is all about.
All your equipment such as cable boxes, satellite boxes, DVR, VCR, etc, are hidden in one location. That location is called an A/V room. This is where all your equipment is wired and distributed so that your T.V's can display any channel independently or can display the same channel throughout the house, all at the same time and all in High Definition.
AVS Integrations Corp. can even distribute the video from your Surveillance Cameras or Baby Monitor so they can be viewed from any location in the house.
