    Screen content remotely

    I've been tasked with a tiny project and I would like to pick the brains here

    Imagine welcoming screens (monitor or TV, either) which are designed to welcome visitors and provide simple instructions. Or show slides. Or whatever. Till now this was managed by the following: www.kramerav.com/product/PT-120

    What would be the simplest way to replace this? Stick computers which can be remotely controlled or video signal over WiFi adapters? Thank you!

    Does it need to be interactive? or can it be 'on loop'

    I already purchased some android stick PCs. Which will be mostly on the loop (in case there's a connection failure) but most of the time we will try to have them in range of the WIFi so the content can be updated via TeamViewer and controlled accordingly. If there'll be no Wifi, the looped content should be sufficient (like videos, presentations, etc). Got 2 x sticks with external antennas + a remote for £50. I think that's an excellent price.

    EDIT: CX919 & Gyro air mouse
