So technically, it would be from UNDER the grill, but I was hoping to get your attention.
I'm trying to figure out the best way to run multi-zone video in my outdoor living area. My setup currently has one television, DVR, Apple TV, Denon AVR, and 4 pairs of speakers. The equipment is located in a stainless steel cabinet beneath my gas grill, and the TV is connected via HDMI.
I would like to add an additional TV in the corner of the other "room" between the two windows, near the ceiling. This area predominantly does not have line-of-sight to the existing TV. However, the construction of our living area is such that I cannot run a new HDMI cable from the current equipment cabinet.
The current equipment cabinet is essentially a stainless steel box. It does not receive wi-fi well at all, so I've set up an ethernet powerline system for streaming purposes. However, it does receive the RF signal from my universal remote just fine.
So my fundamental question is, are there wireless HDMI systems that will be able to successfully broadcast from this metal box? Any idea what kind of lag time we might experience -- as one of our options, I would like the two TVs to be able to show the same or different sources simultaneously (obviously with only one audio source running). So lag introduced by the wireless HDMI would be noticeable, and performing a lip-sync adjustment to compensate would create problems for the TV on the wired HDMI connection.
I've attached some pics of the space so this will hopefully make some sense. Any help is appreciated!
