If you want to keep it simple check out something like an Extron Twisted Pair Extender http://www.extron.com/ Transmitter connects to the computer with a pass through so you can connect a monitor. Cat 5 from Transmitter to Receiver. Receiver connects to the monitor or TV at the other end. Ours runs two plasma screens pointed at the main entrances. The one drawback - a computer has to be dedicated to the task. POS is fine.

Just kinda wondering whether anyone has had to deal with trying to mount a monitor outside in a public hallway. (Our advising office has to keep putting different posters out in the hallway, and thought that something like this might be a good way of making the content a bit more dynamic and easy to change). Any thoughts on how people have done this? Unfortunately, it looks like the spot where it would be best to put this the other side of the wall is a stairway, so just punching through the wall to mount a computer to drive it wouldn't be practical. Basically I'm just kinda looking for any helpful ideas, we've never tried doing anything like this before. Thanks, Gary
