Sure, you are going to want active cables, to cover that distance, the 70 footer is going to take 2 cables as they don't have a single cable that long. http://www.monoprice.com/Category?c_id=102&cp_id=10255

To put them together you well need a coupler and I think with the active cables there won't be a problem. I have used these without one in my home a few times and I have used a lot of Monoprice products with out a problem of any kind.


You can also do this with nonactive cables

And 2 of these

The 22awg are very stiff so these are going to be need.

You have not specified how you are going to get the video from the iPhone to the splitter. I am assuming you have a docking station that has an HDMI output; so one of the 2 splitters well do the trick.

but don't forget the cable from the doc to the splitter.

I think the issue would be with using two active cables vs. the non-active ones. You really just want to use a single cable point to point. I use the 75' 22AWG HDMI cable from Monoprice which is linked above and I have no issues with getting 1080i video to cover the distance just fine. So, that would be my first choice and recommendation. It's inexpensive, and should work well.


As for a player, you may want to check eBay for some used BrightSign pieces which have HDMI output...

http://www.ebay.com/itm/BrightSign-HD1010-Digital-Signage-Appliance-VGA-HDMI-Component-YPbPr-/131064138612?pt=US_Internet_Media_Streamers&hash=item1e84080b74


They are designed for 24/7 use and looping playback of videos. Kind of a learning curve to get it up and running, but will just loop a video as you want. Also allows you to drop in graphics (logos), etc. to look how you want.


BrightSign is from the same company that makes Roku, so it's a solid product, but very specialized to digital signage.
