I have 5 rooms where I’m distributing video via an HDMI matrix. One of the rooms is also an audio zone. So I wanted to be able to hear the video’s audio source through the speakers in the ceiling.
Trying to figure out what I need hardware wise to make this work. Here is my current setup:
Video distribution via HDMI matrix with 6 devices to 5 locations.
I have an 8 zone Control4 Matrix Amp powering the audio only zones.
HDMI Devices:
Cable box - Xfinity
Apple TV 3
Roku box (non-4K)
Amazon Fire TV box
Luma NVR
Sony PS4
Video Locations:
Family room with Denon X1300 5.1
Kitchen
Guest bedroom
Game room – is also an audio zone
Media room with Pioneer Elite receiver 7.1
I bought a ViewHD HDMI Audio Extractor (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00KBHX072/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_9?smid=A2BUXD0L1W5AKG&psc=1) but didn’t know if I need to buy 1 of each device – 1 for the cable box, 1 for the ATV, 1 for FireTV. It’s unlikely the PS4 will get used in the game room since it’s in the media room.
Since I only want to use the speakers in the Game room when watching 1 of the inputs, what would happen in the other locations if someone is watching at the same time?
