A digital video audio signal switching and distribution system, comprising: at least one transmitter for switching signals, wherein each of the at least one transmitters are connected in a daisy chain series via cables if there is more than one transmitter, and connected to at least one receiver; at least one interface with at least one input for receiving signals from a cable from another transmitter upstream on each of the transmitters; at least one interface with at least one output for sending signals from a cable to a transmitter or a receiver downstream on each of the transmitters; at least one interface with at least one input for receiving a local signal from a cable from a local source device on each of the transmitters; each of the transmitter/ transmitters further comprising a daisy chain processor for relaying the upstream signals to downstream devices or encoding and inserting the local signal into the daisy chain series via switching if selected by a user; at least one receiver for distributing signals, wherein each of the at least one receivers are connected to each other in a daisy chain series via cables if there is more than one receiver, and connected to at least one transmitter; at least one interface with at least one input for receiving signals from a cable from another receiver or transmitter upstream on each of the receivers; at least one interface with at least one output for sending signals from a cable to a receiver downstream on each of the receivers; at least one interface with at least one output for sending a signal from a cable to a local display unit on each of the receivers; each of the receiver/receivers further comprising a daisy chain processor for relaying the upstream signals to downstream devices and extracting the user selected signals via splitting and decoding them into local signals for displays. at least one transmitter for switching signals, wherein each of the at least one transmitters are connected in a daisy chain series via cables if there is more than one transmitter, and connected to at least one receiver; at least one interface with at least one input for receiving signals from a cable from another transmitter upstream on each of the transmitters; at least one interface with at least one output for sending signals from a cable to a transmitter or a receiver downstream on each of the transmitters; at least one interface with at least one input for receiving a local signal from a cable from a local source device on each of the transmitters; each of the transmitter/ transmitters further comprising a daisy chain processor for relaying the upstream signals to downstream devices or encoding and inserting the local signal into the daisy chain series via switching if selected by a user; at least one receiver for distributing signals, wherein each of the at least one receivers are connected to each other in a daisy chain series via cables if there is more than one receiver, and connected to at least one transmitter; at least one interface with at least one input for receiving signals from a cable from another receiver or transmitter upstream on each of the receivers; at least one interface with at least one output for sending signals from a cable to a receiver downstream on each of the receivers; at least one interface with at least one output for sending a signal from a cable to a local display unit on each of the receivers; each of the receiver/receivers further comprising a daisy chain processor for relaying the upstream signals to downstream devices and extracting the user selected signals via splitting and decoding them into local signals for displays.
