PC in a different room! How do I use peripherals? One PC - 2 setups?

[aoaaron]

Thanks for advice.

I have an office and a home cinema. Office is above the home cinema.

Office = Triple LG OLED 55''
Home Cinema = JVC N5 projector

I'd like to use ONE PC for both. I'd only use one at a time.

Can I therefore run 3x cables to my monitors and 1x cable from office to home cinema?

If so how do I use mouse and bluetooth devices?

The bluetooth devices is most important in the home cinema as I'll be close to the PC to run a wire if needed. Any advice much appreciated.

Linus tech tips has kind of covered in his home reno videos.

IIRC they went with some sort of network to usb/display adapters that either work with fibre or ethernet.

Think the 'technical term' is kvm over ip.

The issue might be bandwidth if you're going 4K... might need a fibre based option for that.

Key question is what is the distance from PC to projector? If you can run a cable, say a fibre DisplayPort cable, then peripherals are easy.

You can use a USB hub to connect your mouse and other bluetooth devices to the PC. This will allow you to use the same PC for both the office and the home cinema.
