We have a client with a gym with 2 levels:

level 1 has a TV and stereo speakers in the ceiling

level 2 has 3 tv's and stereo speakers in the ceiling

Right now we are using a pioneer av receiver and distributing video over component. Audio is LR and runs back up to the control4 matrix.

All TV's view or listen to the same sources at the same time, but you can turn on level 1 & level 2 independently.

The client wants to upgrade to hdmi. We are looking for the most economical way to do this. Normally we would use just add power, but it's we're trying to save money.

I'm thinking of using a low end marantz with LR pre out with a wyrestorm 1x4 splitter, and 4K baluns.

If anyone has a better suggestion, I'm open to all ideas.

Thanks.
