Two Phantom Silver to a projector with no optical output and with a soundbar

[ragwo]

Hello,

I have a great setup with 2 Silver Phantom, but I will upgrade my setup soon and want to use them hooked up to a projector.

The projector (Epson TW7400) has no optical output. 

Should I buy an amp with multiple optical in, and hdmi out ? Does it even exist ? As I will also be plugging a sound bar ?

My first idea was just a simple hdmi splitter WITH optical in. But i dont know if it would work especially with issues with lipsync. I have manually lowered to latency to 60ms but it is still not perfect. Is there a splitter or amp system that can offset this ? Especially if I also have to sync with a soundbar? 


Many thanks !

I would not recommend to add the sound bar with the Silvers, you will have more lipsync problems. Most surround receivers can delay the sound, but I haven't found one for a reasonable price that can delay the picture. Another option is the optical direct mode. The latency will be close to zero but you'll need a preamp of some kind to control the volume, and at least an optical splitter to feed the Phantoms.
