VGA Video over Cat 5

network Cable

I Was asked today to setup 3 plasma screens, so that our client in Skipton, North Yorkshire

could put one powerpoint presentation on all 3 screens.

Besides having setup many Microsoft Media Centre’s I do not

consider myself an AV Specialist, so my initial plan was to simply run either an SVideo cable or Vga cable with a splitter box.

I was then told that the PC needed to be on a different floor from the TV’s!!

The obvious answer was to make use

of the the cat 5 network points that were already cabled in and running between both floors.

So after googling, I found

Its really simple to setup

and now we have 3 Plasma screens connected to one pc via Cat 5 Network cables.
