If you are using older gaming consoles (Xbox, Playstation, Wii) with an HDMI output, we do not recommend encoding the HDMI output for distribution.  Modern games requires zero latency, so the small latency HDMI distribution introduces would degrade the gaming experience.  These older gaming consoles should be physically located with the individual televisions.
