Distributed Video
Distributed Video Checklist
A distributed video checklist plans how video sources are centralized, routed, controlled, connected, hidden, and maintained across multiple displays.
Before you start
Use this as a practical planning conversation.
Distributed video can reduce clutter and create flexibility, but it must be designed around resolution, source control, compatibility, cable distance, and everyday usability.
A client may use this checklist to centralize Apple TV devices, cable boxes, and media players in an equipment rack while controlling them from TVs in the family room, bedroom, kitchen, and theater.
Homeowners who want shared streaming devices, cable boxes, media players, or source equipment available across multiple rooms.
