Audio Video Term

Distributed Video

Distributed Video is an audio video term for Chicago-area smart home, theater, and commercial AV projects.

Distributed Video is a system that sends video sources to multiple displays or rooms from centralized or shared equipment.

Example of Distributed Video

A centralized Apple TV, cable box, or media player can be routed to the kitchen, bedroom, theater, or patio with the correct remote controls in each room. In that kind of Davis distributed video project, the term Distributed Video would describe a system that sends video sources to multiple displays or rooms from centralized or shared equipment. Davis would use that understanding to account for source locations, matrix or switching equipment, cabling, remotes, and room-by-room source access, then test the result in the actual room, document the related components, and show the client how to use the feature without needing to manage the technical details behind it.
