Digital Signage Players - Streaming powerpoint presentation from a computer to 6 TV's

TestLink · 15-08-2016 03:49PM #1

In my office I would like to stream a powerpoint presentation that is on a laptop or PC to 6 network enabled (Ethernet) TV's. The same content would be displayed on all the TV's. I have some digital signage players in mind, but they would play only Video / Audio / JPEG / HTML.

Any way to play the same powerpoint presentation on all the TV's

If only there was an IT guru around you could ask...

Can the TVs display a multicast stream? Maybe you can find some screen capture software that will send a video of your laptop screen out as RTP over multicast.

Apparently you can save Powerpoint presentations as a video ...

Good few ways

How near are the 6 TVs to each other ?

How near are they to wherever the pc/laptop is ?

Is it very easy to run cables to the TVs ?

You can use HDMI over Ethernet/WiFi extenders too

Looks like you havee your content sorted if you haven't already done so you should consider commercial TVs over something you'll get on the high street.

You'll run into warranty issues as something from a retail store won't be certified for commercial use
