In my work, sometimes participants need to connect a video game console, and I have to send the image to the main screen.
I'm looking for a cost-effective solution with minimal latency to connect the game console's HDMI cable to an NDI port, preferably via Wi-Fi, as sometimes I can't run a long enough cable.
Do you have any product recommendations?

What do you consider long enough and why (avoiding wifi)?

I perform in various venues. Sometimes I'm right next to the stage, so I can run an HDMI cable to my capture card.

But sometimes I'm in venues where it's impossible to run a cable from the stage to the control room. That's why I'm looking for a versatile, temporary, and, above all, reliable solution that would provide this service. I don't have a large budget, so I want to first estimate the cost of a temporary solution.

Covert from HDMI to NDi or even OMT so you can cover longer distances with a network cable then what a HDNI cable can. can go up to 100m, for longer add a switch in-between 2 cables to double that.

I haven't tried it and can't give any feedback.
You can also use rtsp or srt.
