I'm currently modifying my installation in Los Angeles and I have few questions, I was wondering if you guys were nice enough to give me few advices.
Here is a brief scope of the electronics and setup:
Video sources (AppleTV, Kaleidescape, Fire...) are in main racks connected to a Leaf 4K video matrix (video only) and the audio sources (Sonos, audio from EA-5 controller) to a C4 16 zones V3 audio matrix.
The living room has two video devices, 1 sharp Elite 70" and 1 Sony Projector VW1100ES
Preamp is Marantz AV8802a
The Master has an Sharp Elite 70" as well with a Marantz SR-7010 receiver
The 3 other rooms including kitchen have flat screen connected to Sonos Playbar + sub.
The living room and Master bedroom video are connected through Gefen 4K HDMI extenders and the other rooms that have TVs + Playbars are connected to the Leaf video matrix extenders.
1st question:
In the living room area that has both a TV and projector, how would you set that up?
- Creating 2 different rooms, like living room and theater? In that case can the Marantz be used in both rooms as Main Zone to be able to use the 7.4.2 sound system?
- or having both the projector and TV in the same room? If so what's the best way to set it up?
PS: The projector is controlled with the C4 serial driver and the Elite TV with the C4 IP driver.
There is also a Stewart motorized screen that's activated with a trigger.
2nd question:
How could I have the multi room audio working in the rooms that have Sonos Playbar systems? Is it possible to connect them to the matrix? Or should I run audio cable from the matrix to each tv so the music could be output through the Playbars? In that case it would mean that TVs have to be on to be able to play music in these rooms I guess
3rd question:
I use to have a controller for each room but I have switch to only one now, the EA-5 connected to the Living Room/Theater area. I was wondering if it is doable to put the UI through the Video Matrix and have it display in every room?
4th question:
How should I connect the EA-5 audio outputs to my system? Only through the matrix? To the Marantz components in digital? Not sure what's the best way to do that to have something easy to use.
