have a set of 6 television displays spread over 3 floors and a central personal computer at one of these floors. There exists an Ethernet cat6 cable network in the building with ports at the location of the displays and the PC. All these ports are connected to a 48 port Ethernet Switch. Is it possible to display different content on the displays at the same time controlled and displayed from the central PC? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated .. I can add any hardware devices/components except a PC and I can run any software on the PC...no restrictions

I have explored HDMI over Ethernet extenders. However, the require separate PCs for all display and thus not feasible for my setup

  • Have you considered a Raspberry Pi or equivalent at each TV location? – tsc_chazz Aug 10 '23 at 18:54
  • Yes... I did get the idea from another forum. However, will it be possible to connect these raspberry pi's to my Ethernet switch and subsequently to my Central PC? I require a software solution to execute this setup – Predator1706 Aug 10 '23 at 19:12
  • The Pi has both hardwired CAT6 and WiFi connections, and an HDMI connector for video. It runs a Linux variant, so there should be FOSS apps to do what you want. It does need power - an Android cell phone adapter is generally plenty for it. – tsc_chazz Aug 10 '23 at 20:58
  • You'd need a streaming client at each outlet. However, home computing/networking and product recommendations are explicitly off topic here. – Zac67 Aug 11 '23 at 06:33

We are using a product called Monitors AnyWhere that will allow you to play multiple videos from a single PC over the network onto multiple screens: https://monitorsanywhere.com/mawi-zero-7/
