HDBaseT

The latest custom installation news in minutes for busy integrators and industry professionals.

An integrated AV system built around centralised control and HDBaseT distribution has helped GOAT in Nantwich, Cheshire, earn the title of Best Pub to Watch Sport at the Great British Pub Awards 2026.

The system was designed by HDA Systems, supplied by 1AV and installed by InHome Media Solutions.

It brings together 14 displays, 4 sky sources and 9 independent audio zones under a single management platform.

Achieving that level of flexibility required a centralized approach to distribution and control.

At the heart of the installation is the HDAM Hub S matrix.

The system distributes four sky sources to all 14 displays using HDBaseT technology, delivering 4K video from a central equipment rack to screens located throughout the site.

By using a dedicated AV distribution network, rather than relying on the venue's data infrastructure, video delivery remains independent of day-to-day network traffic.
