I am currently quoting a JAP system, and after two meetings with the client, he understands JAP, and how it works. The questions he came at me wthis time was the ability to put an XBox One in the Rack, and be able to play the XBox in any room with a JAP receiver. He asked how do the controllers work, how does he move the Kinect sensor around, etc. I have never done an Xbox in a video distribution system that was used for gaming, so this is new to me.

I looked at the JAP receivers and it looks like the 2g+ has USB on it. Can I use the USB on these receivers, run a cable below the TV for a USB jack on the wall? Then the kids can plug the Kinect into the USB Jack on the wall and set that Kinect on the TV? Then on the Xbox one Jap transmitter, plug a USB from the transmitter to the Xbox One Kinect Port?

Next question is how to extend the controllers?

Kinect bar on XBOX ONE is a whole different animal. At the moment. There is none known device or way to extend the distance of that bar. I've installed severL units, includes one of my own.

Place the unit at the display location, HDBT back to the rack. Or HDMI extender if there no open budget.

In your scenario, you would have to move the whole umit, Kinnect sensor, player, power supply at the display where JAP are senders instead of receiver.

^^ What he said ^^

Also, from what I have found there is no way to extend the range of the controllers for the Xbox 360, and I imagine that the One is the same.

The plus is you can just put the JAP transmitter at the Xbox ONE location in the room. No additional hardware needed, just move things around (if possible).

If your customer is any kind of serious gamer, the latency involved in distributing the signal via these methods will not be acceptable.
