Looking for a simple wireless hdmi set up for a karaoke monitor
A home maybe, but I wouldn't trust powerline at an event, as most of these require you to be on the same leg of the mains and you can't guarantee that somewhere else.I have been thinking about trying a pair (transmitter and receiver) of HDMI over Powerline devices. You gotta plug your monitor in anyway, so why not use the power cable for audio/video. The thing is; the HDMI/Powerline devices are crazy expensive... $200 a pair and up. There's several that don't get good reviews too, so I was looking at this one...

Be prepared more MANY days of agony. I still have a hundred or 2 to rip and I keep postponing the pain. The ripping is easy .. it's the fixing afterwards that takes a LOT of time.I have thousands of karaoke cdgs I bought along the way dirt cheap just gotta tip them to a usable format

When you rip a standard CD, the ripping software pulls track info from one of the online databases (cddb, etc.) ... generally pretty clean.What kind of "fixing" is required?

From my laptop, I used a VGA splitter to go to a large monitor and to a singers monitor (coax would have been OK from the CDG player though). Lately, I have been forgoing the large monitor and using an iPad for the singer .. unless someone is paying for a bigger setup. With the iPad .. a slim 10' power/data cable and a mic stand mount work fine .. Duet app on the PC to control it.It doesn't make sense to go wireless if you still have to run a power cord.
Karaoke also doesn't require anything even close to an HDMI signal, and a lot of CDG graphics are in the 4:3 aspect ratio. Use a modulator and send an ordinary coax cable to the TV using either composite or RF Chan. Coax is cheaper than HDMI cable, can be split passively to feed multiple monitors.
RG6 coax can also carry SDI - so, you can also use it to do digital video over long distances instead of HDMI which requires repeaters and equalization after 30-50ft.

1 small cable, a good case, and a 1 minute setup trumps the lower cost. If I thought I needed to go big, then I'd bring other gear.Personally, I wouldn't use a ($300?) iPad to do what a cheap $69 monitor can, and it makes having a spare very affordable. Replacing broken iPads would suck. I use older dedicated XP laptops with an SVGA out for karaoke. The computers are a dime a dozen and it's all the processor you need to run CD+g files. RF modulator to RF Chan. 3 and I can split and connect to any TV installed anywhere. It comes in handy when you show up somewhere that already has TVs installed.
