Wireless RGBHV?

I haven't heard of that, but I can get my hands on some CAT 5 RX and Tx units that might be easier to get from place to place than RGB cable. I would assume (not being a computer guy) that you could then use a wireless link for the CAT 5 to get the signal where you want...

I'd doubt the wireless link would habe the bandwidth needed

I have a system that will transmit a decent video signal over two or three miles but it's just a composite signal which would leave me having to put a scaler with the projector.

That is limited to XGA and 30 fps but maybe there's something else out there similar to it but better? Finding something with the required bandwidth will be tough but it might exist for short ranges with good directional antennas, using something like the 125 Mbps "turbo g" wifi.


Did a google and found this... definitely good things on the horizon:

640 Mbps would get the job done!

If you want to get wireless rgbhv from your computer there is a possible solution. I have a linkplayer 2 with a wireless network/gaming adapter thats being feed from my computer in another room. If you buy a trascoder than it should work in your case.


*edit* need to add that if the phone rings it resets but I guess that might be true for all wireless setups

It will feed a Barco industrial LCD projector and be fed from a lap-top PC. It will run in XGA and sound is not an issue. The problem is that they thought ahead and brought power to the projector location but, there is no chase for any signal wires to go anywhere. The whole structure is supported by four solid granite columns twenty feet tall.

The RGB over Cat5 (and fiber) solutions don't packetize video data (i.e. it's not converted to ethernet... it just happens to use cat5.) Rather, those boxes are (relatively) simple mux/demux devices and each must have a direct link to it's mate.


Butts' first recommended solution _should_ work, but you should put the FM transmitter at the end of the wireless link also, as the video compress/transmit/decompress cycle will probably cause the audio to be out of sync.

Hi,

640Mbps is not enough. With 24bit (3*8) for the RGB signal you get only 26MHz pixel clock :-(


How about some kind of MPEG compression and decompression? Good video card with hardware decompression...

There's gotta be a way to do this, because you can stream HD content over a LAN (or wireless lan) for playback no problem. Can you put a playback computer at the projector, and then control that PC and feed it via wireless network?

Or what about localized broadcasting someting like that?


I really have no idea, I just figure that somewhere there's a way to do this, it just might end up being really copmlicated and expensive.

Sounds like a nice challege you've been handed! I only had a couple minutes to work with but I Google'd and found this. Would something like this work for your application?

I'm curious how this all turns out. Once or twice since dumping the bulb pj for crt I've thought how nice it would be to use it (the lcd pj) for an outdoor theater but didn't want to deal with all the wiring. Getting wireless basic stereo sound out to the yard is no problem with X10-ish 2.4Ghz type technology but vid without long component wiring was the stall point. To get around that would require a fullblown dedicated weatherproof cart for the DVD player and such. With just the lcd pj all you gotta do is grab one thing in an easy to knock together plexi housing and run if rains ruins the party.

Keep us informed. Sounds like fun.
