Thanks for adding me to the forum. I am having challenges sending video to a remote monitor; the purpose is to provide a digital scoreboard for ski racing results. Currently we are using VGA over ethernet converters but picture quality is marginal.
Site conditions:
I'm looking for a solution that would give us a more legible display using the available infrastructure. Any help is much appreciated.
Site conditions:
- Timing facility is inside a heated building with grid connected 110V power; wifi and LAN connection to internet are available
- Computer: ordinary Windows laptop with USB 2.0, VGA and HDMI ports
- Monitor: Sunbrite Signature Series 43” 4K outdoor grade TV; inputs include HDMI, VGA, HDBaseT (onboard receiver)
- Monitor is housed in an unheated enclosure that has full time 110V power and buried Cat 5e cable connection to timing room
- The cat 5e cable surfaces in a shack approximately 50 m from the timing room; the shack has 110V power
- Total distance from timing location to monitor is 70-80 m
- There is clear line of sight from timing room window to monitor enclosure - possible wireless solution?
- The timing software automatically configures the remote display output for 1080p monitors
- Also required: signal for a second monitor in the timing room
I'm looking for a solution that would give us a more legible display using the available infrastructure. Any help is much appreciated.
