INTRODUCTION It goes without saying that technology brings many benefits to our lives, whether at home, in the office, school, or even just walking or driving around. Technology allows us to reach out and connect to different people and platforms, optimizing our time, resources, and productivity. This is particularly relevant in the audio-video industry, where there is continuous progress with new devices, new platforms, new possibilities. The ability to enhance the distribution of high-quality, high-speed content leads to the ultimate AV experience in corporate, residential, medical or any other vertical. The evolution of AV technology is never-ending, and progresses according to the needs of the market and its end-users, whether is in terms of speed, quality, distance, etc. In this paper, we are going to look at the requirements of residential installations to deliver the best experience to customers. 3. THE NEEDS OF THE CONNECTED HOME Long gone are the days when families relied only on their plain TVs, their wired phones, and antennas. Broadcast, cable TV, VCR, DVD, from analog systems to digital, streaming and video-on-demand. Nowadays, the home display (aka, TV) is only part of what is expected in most residential installations.
