As I see it, we have a few options for controlling content to our TVs.
Current: USB sticks directly to TVs. Works fine. Problem is changing the
content is a hassle. Need to get a ladder each time, etc.
We could use very long USB cords and have the sticks somewhere more
convenient. Problem: It's hokey :) and long cords lose signal quality.
We could attach microcontrollers to each TV to provide the content and
connect the TVs wirelessly from to a computer, but that doesn't solve
the issue of how to put different content on each system. I'm not going
to devote a whole computer for each TV.
We could use the media players that Martin would donate. We'd still need
one for each TV, but we can control many of them from the player
company's CMS software.
Am I missing other ideas?
