Hi everyone!
I'll post this in the wrog forum so I'm reposting it in here. I'm not expert in this subject and thats why I comming to you for help. I have 2 areas Living Room and Deck. All of my Video sources are in the LR (DirecTV HD and PS3) connected to a HTS - Home Theater System (nothing fancy just a Panasonic with 2 HDMI in and 1 HDMI out) and my HTS HDMI output goes to my LED TV. This works great.
The thing is that I bought a Projector and Projector Screen for my Deck area. Now in order to be able to use the projector: option 1) I could just buy another PS3 and Direct TV deco (that’s insane right). Option 2) is to buy, two 1->2 Hdmi expanders and connect one output to the HTS in the LR and the other output to a new HTS on my deck. I think (I'm not expert) that with this option I could easily use my Direct Tv and my PS3 in both areas simultaneously and even play PS3 on my Deck while my wife watch a movie in the LR right??? The only downside with this option is that if I play music on my HTS in one of the HTS it won’t sound in both areas since one HTS it's no connected to the other. I could live with that but it would be great listen the same music in both areas.
So I came up with this idea Option 3) Could I connect my LR HTS HDMI output to a 1->2 HDMI expander and one output to my led TV. So far this would be the same as it is now right???... Now can I connect the other expander HDMI output to the Deck HTS Hdmi input??? If I can do this (remember I'm anything but an expert in this) I would be able to have my deck as a repeater for my LR HTS, so if I play music, ps3 or direct TV in my LR HTS I could watch it a listen it in my deck as well. The downside here is that it won't work separated but I'm willing to sacrificed this to be able to listen the music in both places.
So the question is Can I connect one HTS to a HDMI expander then one output to the TV and the other to another HTS so they will work in parallel?
I hope that I explain what I want to do! Thank you very much for your help :T !!!
