    Video sending? Solution wanted !

    Wondering if anyone has any ideas...

    I have been asked to find a solution to the following :
    A GP clinic want's to have three LCD displays showing information for the patients.
    Origianaly I was going to use video-senders to transmit from a central PC a powerpoint presentation that the staff could update themselves.
    Problem is, I'm not allowed to use 2.4Ghz devices, as they might interfere with medical equipment.
    I know there are 5ghz devices, but I can't find one that would allow me to transmit to more than one destination.

    We have been quoted about 7K to put in a bespoke system, but I'm hoping to find a better way...

    Thanks

    Does it have to be wireless?

    A wires solution would be much easier and cheaper, it would aldo be les prone to interference etc.

    The rooms are spread out over the building, and it would be a real pain putting in the cabling.
    There is, however, structured cabling, so an IP based device could be an option....

    I know that HP make KVM units that run over CAT5. They have KVM dongles on them that run into a CAT5 cable. You may be able to buy these dongles to use over the patching?

    Gr44, we have some of them in our server racks. The problem with the hp kvm units is they work on a many to one basis, wheras i need a one to many. I dont think they do one that would allow you to attach multiple screens to one source...
