VGA over Cat5 to hdmi spliiter...help

[Jdavis8301]

This is for a work project actually.... I have an industrial mini pc that only has a VGA output. We have an adapter that converts the analog VGA signal over Ethernet and it runs about 50 feet away to two TVs that display the same image. Above the TVs we have a video over Ethernet to VGA splitter, since the two TVs had VGA inputs.(Cat5 x1 in and vga out x2). It was a complete analog setup and everything worked fine. Problem is, we had to replace one of the TV's acting as a monitor and it only has an HDMI input, no VGA. Would simply getting a video over Ethernet to hdmi output x2 fix my issue?

Both tvs have HDMI inputs at this point but my worry is the signal must be converted to digital from the VGA somehow to use the hdmi inputs on the tvs. Does something like this exist? Or any other ideas on how to solve this.

I would suggest rather a HDMI to VGA convertor for the TVs.

Video over Ethernet devices don't all use the same methods of sending the signal, and are not compatible.

You need VGA to HDMI video converter.
Something like this (USB plug there is for power):

Thanks, we actually tried to go down this path once but bought the wrong adapter, it only converted HDMI to VGA we needed the opposite of course and apparently these are not bi directional, that one linked would work . I was hoping to find an cat5 to hdmi converter/splitter so i could eliminate having two different adapters. (cat5 to vga spliiter/adapter then vga to hdmi adapter)
