Hey y'all, long time no see... I finally got my PARIS system back up and running (after almost 2 years, yikes!), so I'm back in the mix, so to speak.
My new setup includes a beautiful professional isolation booth I inherited from the previous tenant at my apartment. (Talk about luck...) I set up a new system (Dell Inspiron 530 Desktop, works like a charm) to do the recording, but since I'm wearing both the engineer and musician hats, I decided to put my console inside the booth. So the CPU, MEC, etc. are external, and I have the monitor (with a VGA->cat5 adapter), Control 16, and wireless keyboard and mouse inside.
I had to disassemble the vent duct to run the cables for the monitor and C16, and it limits the placement of the components (internally and externally) due to the length of the wires. I'd really like to move them to a more out-of-the-way place, but I haven't found a solution yet.
Which is where (I hope) you guys come in. I think I've found a decent wireless monitor extension system, which will solve the display problem:

...but I don't have a solution for the C16. Has anyone done a protocol analysis on the EDS<->C16 traffic, or is there a device that can translate cat5 voltages to a wireless signal and back in a protocol-agnostic way? Has anyone looked into the possibility of making their setup completely wireless?
Thanks in advance for your advice!
