Silverstar is a premier midwest car wash chain. Like many businesses, they have TVs around their main office and need a reliable way to use them. They may want to use their TVs for meetings, check on their live security feeds, or kick back and watch cable TV during downtime.
It’s easy to do all these things with one TV, but it’s not as easy with many TVs. Each TV may need a computer with a mouse and keyboard, internet access, and a cable box. Depending on the number of TVs, this can be a cost and cabling nightmare. For a growing business like Silverstar, eventually, they’ll need even more TVs, dramatically increasing costs.One solution is to distribute the AV sources, like the security feed computer. By distributing AV sources, Silverstar can view any AV source on any TV or all TVs at the same time.
