Patent ID: 8127334

Claim:
A system for redistributing a plurality of audio/video signals to a plurality of units over conductors, each unit being serviced through a common distribution point, each unit within the plurality of units having at least one communications interface, the system comprising a server, at least one demodulator for demodulating at least one input signal, the server controlling an output program selection of the input signals responsive to one or more control signals corresponding to each user-selected program input into one of the at least one communications interfaces in one of the plurality of units, and at least one processor for processing the at least one input signal for switching by one or more of matching an impedance of the input signal to an output impedance, raising a baseband of the signal, equalizing high frequency components, increasing a level of chroma, increasing a peak-to-peak voltage, optimizing frequency allocation, and selecting an appropriate modulation technique, and at least one switching device for routing the program selection using an internet protocol or other communication protocol or combination thereof, the switching device being controlled by the server and outputting an output signal containing the user-selected program, which output signal is sent only to the at least one communications interface within the one of the plurality of units and not to others of the plurality of units, responsive to the one or more control signals input into the at least one communications interface, wherein the at least one communications interface in the one of the plurality of units receives the program selection for transmission of the user-selected program to at least one receiving device in the one of the plurality of units.
