We've got around 10 school campuses each with it's own Cisco switch. Each switch is networked by fiber back to our headend. This gives all campuses a 100Mbit network between one another. We're interested in hardware that will allow one campus to host an HD audio and video stream over the network to be displayed at one or more of the other campuses.
Cost considered, we're interested in installing hardware at each campus that will allow any campus to be the host or client of the media stream. The networking side the hardware should be ethernet (plug directly into switch), the video side should allow for HD input/output, HDMI or component connections. HDCP requirements are not being factored at this time.
The typical use will be for presentations being held at one campus can be viewed on the closed circuit of the other campuses.
Hardware-wise what's recommended in the industry?
