Latop and 2x HDMI projectors

[James Mather]

Hi all.

I'm trying to put together a system but not getting much clear advice on what I need.

I am hoping to project 2xdistinct video streams to 2 separate projectors from a single laptop. I would like to do this wirelessly as we will be moving the systems up to 25 times a day so don't want to hook up desktops.

Laptops don't come with 2x HDMI (only vga and hdmi).

Is such a thing possible?

Any advice welcome. Thank you.

Laptops don't come with 2x HDMI (only vga and hdmi).

They also come with DisplayPort or Mini DisplayPort outputs so all you have to do is select a laptop that has both an HDMI and a (mini) DP port.

I would like to do this wirelessly as we will be moving the systems up to 25 times a day so don't want to hook up desktops.

As a head's up, wireless video sucks for the most part unless you get into very expensive gear.

Is such a thing possible?

Absolutely and then more!

Thank you for the reply. So if money were no object how would one do this? Any known brilliant wifi senders?

I want wireless - retrailing 100 feet of CAT5 cable 30 times a day to 2 projectors every single day for twenty weeks will kill us. Any help welcome. So do I need to buy a new laptop with DisplayPort out? (mine has VGA and HDMI)

I was thinking....

Laptop
Matrox Dual head
DVI TO HDMI adapters for the matrox
wireless HDMI transmitter
Projectors.

Does this work?

Thank you.

If money were no object, then you'd get two Teradek Bolt 3000 units!

Aha - I never thought of that. Weirdly I do have a teradek bolt (for my proper job but didn't put 2 and 2 together). Hmmm. Thank you,

I am not familiar with any wireless video gear but why not use 3 computers? 1 to each projector placed around the projector and 1 as a control. I guess it all depends on what will be playing on the projectors.

If you have the budget...
