videoVIP 0 Posted January 3, 2016 Client wishes to have HDMI output from NVR broadcast to five televisions in five on-site offices. I informed them they could monitor the NVR from their desktop PC, but they insist on having it viewable on the TV in each office. I researched HDMI splitters (StarTech/Monoprice), but all list a cable length limitation of about 15' ~ 20'. The offices are from 20' ~ 75' distant from the NVR. Any ideas? Edit: The TV's are all connected to Comcast for regular viewing. Is there an HDMI modulator that works with digital cable? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

videoVIP 0 Posted January 4, 2016 That's a lot of $$ and a lot of mess. Thinking a modulator through the cable system is the way to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

videoVIP 0 Posted January 4, 2016 Great. C'mon down to Miami and do it for half. I'll bill my client the full price and won't even have to get my hands dirty. Win-win! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zr1 0 Posted January 14, 2016 Miami sounds kinda nice....just put me and the family up at a nice 4-star...business class is acceptable I suppose. For residential and small offices, doing FireTV dongles on a dedicated LCD monitor + an app to monitor the NVR is doable. For large offices with IT depts, they typically wouldn't like such semi-open clients around the network. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
empak 0 Posted January 16, 2016 first off I have installed many HDMI extenders over cat5e, some work very well. But if you want to really impress your client. Use this device for sending to multiple HDMI monitors This unit works by sending the signal down your gigabit network. take a look at this.... you will like it http://www.ebay.ca/itm/351548050673?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=620579601749&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
