Hello all,
I'm looking to get my home bar set up with audio and video distribution and am running into an issue finding any solution that isn't ungodly expensive because it is meant for casinos and fully operating bars.
I'm looking to have a DVD/Bluray player, PC for streaming (music, sports, Netflix, Amazon Prime, etc.), game consoles, and antenna tv as inputs.
The video outputs would be a 2 TVs & a projector (& possibly a control screen like a tablet or PC monitor), while audio outputs would be the 2 TVs' built-in speakers, a 5.1 system, & bluetooth speakers.
The end goal is to get as close as possible to being able to take any video source and display it on any combination of screens, while being able to take audio from any source and put it through any speaker output in kind of a drag and drop concept.
A single PC would be ideal, but it's looking like I may need to broaden my scope of possibilities into things like Raspberry Pi units and coming up with a software to literally drag and drop on a control screen.
The ragtag build I'm starting to form in shopping carts across the web is turning into a monstrosity.
What advice do you people smarter than me have?
