I don't think HDMI can be done by wireless can it (awful lot of data to transfer as far as I know).
Kyu
Hmm.
You'd need at least two computers to handle the network side of things. One plugged directly into the displays HDMI port which would then listen for incoming connections over the network. HDMI devices would then be plugged into the other computer(s) which would stream data over the network to the display connected machine. The video data would probably need to be compressed, im not sure what sort of bandwidth a real time HD stream would constitute but I'm sure its a lot. You'd need expensive wireless N gear for the additional bandwidth. Then theirs encryption to take account of. Most HDMI devices send data in a format unreadable by unauthorised devices so a lot of things just wouldn't work with this setup.
This would probably make a good experiment if you have the time and the money but I wouldn't implement it on a whim. You'd need time to prepare and such.
Hoi Zaeme.
