Options/Require mental for upgrades

[asc72]

I just moved into a home with a Control 4 System. It has an HC800 controller and a Lattis matrix switcher which is feeding 6 tvs in our home. It appears that the Lattis is very old and does not support HDMI. I want to have 2 digital tv boxes and an Nvidia Shield shared across the tvs. Can I just upgrade the Lattis matrix?  The tvs now all use component in , would they need to change to HDMI?

I know I will need to get installer to help, but just trying to get an idea of what it would take.

Yes upgrading the matrix would be where you need to start, although it's pretty easy to argue video distribution isn't worth it these days and just do dedicated sources.  Definitely get a local dealer involved to take a look at your system and verify compatibility with everything.

just depends on the needs of your home. if you are using cable or satellite it can have some monthly savings and if you have expensive video equipment you want to use on all of the tvs it can be cheaper to have one distributed. Also is nice to pause a program and pick it up exactly where you left off by doing nothing more than just turning on the tv.
