They look just like the ones in the closet. The switch lets me display the sources on any monitor I want, so I can have 2 watching the game or a movie, and the other 2 with the blind clock, or 3 watching the game and 1 with the blind clock, etc etc.īehind each monitor there is a matching HDMI extender. Right now I only have 2 sources, an Amazon Fire Stick and a Raspberry Pi. What's cool about that guy is I can have 4 sources, and control what source goes to what monitor. The HDMI cables all go into the 4x4 Switch Splitter. All the HDMI cables are 3' I also got from Amazon. CAT6 goes in one end and HDMI the other end. I ended up going the video route and used these components:Īmazon: Monoprice 105704 4 x 4 True Matrix HDMI Switch/Splitter with Remote ControlĪmazon: AGPtek LKV372A 60m/190ft 1080P HD HDMI Network Extender Over Single Cat6/6a/7 Ethernet Cable with IR Remote ControlĪs you can see in the closet picture, I have 4x of the HDMI network extenders, each labeled 1-4. Here's another pic.Īt the time I wasn't sure if I was just going to plug the monitors in directly to the network for Smart TV access, or if I was going to try and carry video over Ethernet. I put up a little shelf and put all the components in there. Here's a before picture.Īll of the CAT6 ends for the entire basement end in a small closet I made to hide some plumbing. Before I put the sheetrock on the walls I had placed CAT6 jacks beside the power outlets for each monitor. Using Ethernet for the monitors was the plan from the very beginning.
