NVR HDMI OUT to powerline?

[Minime46]

Hi guys

Is it possible if I want a monitor downstairs of a 3 story building to do

Hdmi out to - HDMI extender (cat5)

Into a powerline plug

Then downstairs
Powerline plug cat5 cable into hdmi receiver and then into the monitor?

Would this work?

Is there anyway of wirelessly getting the recorder in a loft to display on a monitor downstairs without running a cable all the way to it?

Any advice would help a lot.

Cheers

Is your tv aerial in the loft ? You could use a hdmi modulator and the picture can be seen by all TVs connected to this , as long as they all can receive free view HD ...

It depends,

Powerline network unit work with Ethernet. Just because something is CAT5 based doesn't nessacerally mean it's Ethernet, from some googling though it appears that some HDMI senders do actually use Ethernet. So they could in principle at least be used over powerline networking. Specifically my googling turns up the part number LKV373A which seems to be available for about £25 for the sender/receiver pair on ebay.

There is also the question of whether there will be a high enough data rate over the powerline link to support whatever bitrate the video stream is using.

As sparkymarka points out if you have a RF TV feed you can get HDMI to DVB-T modulators. They are fairly pricey though.

When I wanted to monitor my cctv (dvr in loft) on my TV in the lounge, I used a 15m hdmi cable. I also dropped a 10m usb cable down a void and used a wireless mouse to control it.

Before that it was powerline adaptors and view it on iPad/phone.
