Splitter Sending a presentation to 6 screens

    I have a video presentation (say a Power Point file on a USB stick) which I want to simultaneously display on six screens scattered in different rooms in one house, all within about 100 feet.

    Some of the screens are positioned in a way that makes cable-access to them quite difficult, and so I would prefer doing this wirelessly.

    Can you recommend a system that will accomplish this?

    Sorry for the delay.

    Media players typically don’t support playback of native PowerPoint files. You can export your presentation to .bmp or .jpeg, then play those images using a playlist of an authoring software that typically comes with a media player. You can also convert a PowerPoint slideshow into an .mpeg or .wmv video file, both of those formats are typically supported by such authoring software.

    A simpler way, of course, to play the PowerPoint presentation would be by using a computer.

    Long range wireless video distribution system are typically limited to no more than four screens (a good choice would be Multicast HDMI Wireless Extenders). Since you have 6 screens, some of which may be accessed via wires, you may want to use a wired HDMI splitter-extender such as VS1814T in conjunction with the wireless solution.
