Given the choice, most homeowners would like to hide as much of their home’s electronic systems as possible in out-of-the-way places such as mechanical rooms or closets. Sharing a home’s video sources amongst multiple TVs throughout the home is another popular request, such as an AppleTV, a movie server, a cable/satellite receiver, or the home’s surveillance camera system. Video distribution systems allow you to do both. Video components may be located in a central location and shared with as many TVs as the home has, offering both convenience and fewer electronic components to hide in the home’s various TV locations.
