I also know of a system that is a 7.1 home theatre amp and also a multi video and audio distribution amp in one , in every room there is a 4 or 5 “ control panel that controls the zone , so it send audio to the speakers and sends video/audio to the cable you put in , the keypad has the amp for the speakers so there less too spend on speaker cable. Cool system but still restricted too whatever someone is watching you have too watch . I hope this helps a bit .
