So, I am creating a home sports bar which I think will be awesome. I have a 19.5-foot long wall unencumbered by doorways, fireplaces or anything, and am considering different options.
1.) A projector with a ~110-inch screen flanked by a couple 65-70-inch TVs. The projector would primarily be split into 4 feeds, so the equivalent of 4 games on 55-inch screens.
2.) Four columns of TVs. Two of which being a couple stacked 42-inch TVs and the other two being single 65-inch TVs, probably alternating.
I will also have another couple TVs in other parts of the room.
I believe the primary piece of equipment I will need is an 8x8 HDMI matrix. This will allow 8 inputs to be split to 8 outputs in any desired manner. These inputs will be 4 DirecTV receivers (unfortunately the only way to get Sunday ticket), 2 X-Boxes (from which I can get local channels so that I can have 6 distinct NFL games showing) and 2 Fire/Roku.
If I go with the projector option, I would also need a 4x1 HDMI multiviewer, allowing the projector to show 4 feeds. In this case, I would plug 4 of the outputs from the 8x8 matrix into this 4x1 multiviewer that outputs to the projector.
I am asking for any thoughts or advice on all of this, from brand recommendations to alternative set-ups to anything. Also, I am not sure if “daisy-chaining” from the 8x8 to 4x1 would cause any problems. I am not nearly smart enough to figure out the answer scientifically, but the stuff I've read on the internet about similar processes leads me to believe that it would be okay.
Anyway, thoughts, opinions and advice are much appreciated.
