I`m trying to run a nas server for movies and tv shows that are on the hard drives thru cat5e to my hd tv`s how do i convert it to hdmi for the tv inputs 5 tv`s in different rooms .I was thinking of those wall plates but i only need to convert at the tv end some thoughts and ideas would be most welcome
 
you need 5 mini pc,s or HTPC's are they know by or some sort of media playback device. You can't just convert cat5e to hdmi, you need something like a small PC device to plug into the cat5e that will take the movies from the NAS, and play them back on the TV.

well it`s not really a nas it`s a win7 computer with 10 tb of movies and tv shows running through a 16 port netgear switch to my tv`s all of them can read a 2tb portable hd so i thought i could get them to read this too
