[QUOTE="Marlow Wilson, post: 14673, member: 47"] Re: Small venue video distribution The two older displays were taken out of service in the main bar and moved to the back where they see less use. They are both VGA equipped but are just temporarily hooked up to an old SD cable box. The projector is new and will accept just about anything and new cabling must be run for it regardless. I was likely going to build some redundancy into whatever I run. The newer TV's I'll have to check into, but I think they may be component/HDMI only. They are currently wired with the component directly into the cable box. I was actually the one who ran the component because at the time HDMI was in its infant stage and I hated it anyways. Looking into the future though, it looks like laptops are starting to have HDMI outputs. It's this future compatibility that makes me fearful of jumping into buying a scaler that will soon be outdated. I actually bought a component distribution amp when I first installed the TV's (6 or 7 years ago) but it caused more problems than it solved and the direct connection has been fine. At the time those two TV's were the only HD sources in the bar, but there are now four of them and the HD projector. What switcher/scaler would work well for a handful of inputs and outputs do yo think? Not every TV needs to be on its own (ie if the back screens are paired it's not an issue, and likewise the projector and one of the bar TV's could be the same as well). Thanks for the response!
