I am starting a new project at my place of employment and it requires me converting over their current digital signage system. They are currently running it through an old PC to TV converter box over coax. The picture quality is horrible. I am wanting to convert it to HD.
The solution that I thought up was to convert the computer output to HDMI (or install a new HDMI graphics card) to a HDMI splitter that runs over CAT6 cable.
I found two different models on MonoPrice that both look very good, however the first unit
(monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=109&cp_id=10113&cs_id=1011307&p_id=8207&seq=1&format=2)
utilizes two cat6 connections per TV while the second model
(monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=101&cp_id=10113&cs_id=1011307&p_id=8159&seq=1&format=4#feedback)
utilizes only one cable.
Obviously, I would much rather run only one cable, however I am worried about video loss. I want to get the better unit, and if running two cables would provide a superior picture, then I would rather go that route. If the single cable will produce a picture just as good, then for the sake of simplicity I would rather go with that.
The specifications and descriptions are pretty similar. I cant find any differences between the two besides the number of cords you have to run.
The reason we are switching over to HD is for clairity in text. We are going to have twitter feeds and menus on the TV's and small fonts right now are impossible to read.
Any input on this would be great! or if there are better solutions out there, I would not be opposed to hearing them
Thanks so much!
