Hey, so the gymnastics club my daughters are in got some TVs for running advertisement. The guy that hooked them up ran composite cables to a splitter to one long cable to a DVD player where they have the media for advertisement.
The director approached me because they want more multi media applications on the TVs, custom to each (scores on two, advertisment...etc...). I've never built anything like this but I was thinking of a rp2 per TV that they vnc to and put on whatever media they need. Shared drive that they can have the advertising media and web browser for the score application they run. The problem is it's Linux. These users will not be savy. I could have icons on the desktop that point to where they need to go and they would probably still get it wrong.
When I saw the rp2 could run win10 I became more interested. Rdp to each unit and set it to what you want. However with rdp it takes over the video session which is what I don't want. Can it be set to never log out and mimick the desktop? Am I on the right track? Not sure where to post this but hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I also though of running an HDMI cable from each TV to a central computer but the furthest TV is over 100ft away...that's an expensive run.
Thanks!
