This might be OT, although the solution could certainly be used with a home sound system, so maybe it's not.
The background:
Our high school just installed a scoreboard for our new Varsity Softball field. The scoreboard controller talks to the scoreboard via a cable that has a 1/4" TRS plug on each end.
Unfortunately, they didn't ask anyone involved with the team which dugout would be the home dugout and they installed the controller jack in the visitor's dugout.
We are currently using a 20' cord so that the operator doesn't have to sit in the visitor's dugout...he sits outside the dugout, but is still on the visitor's side of the field.
We'd like to move the jack to the home dugout, but we can't get the school to dig the trench and move the jack until after the season is over.
The question:
Could we use a wireless transmitter and receiver in place of the cord? If so, we could put the receiver in the visitor's dugout and plug it into the jack and the transmitter would plug into the controller. The range would be under 100' and the dugouts are made of concrete, obviously open across the front.
The problem is, I don't know where to start looking for this type of equipment, or even what I would need to know to spec it out.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
