Streaming Software Solution.

I sat through a one-day Assembly of ~600 folks today, and the sound was awful. I was in a hotel, in an overflow suite upstairs (or up lifts), with two big tvs, connected to the suite below by (wait for it) Zoom:redface:. The hotel obviously have no infrastructure to deal with linking their conference suites. Everything went through in-house wifi. The 2 upstairs speakers were usually at least a syllable out of synch (ouch!), & dropouts were regular.
A video camera shows the speaker. Sound is amplified downstairs, but a 'line out' feed is available. This is what I need to create for next time.
Code:Video Feed===>==== |

Sound Feed===>==| Server |===>===RJ45 out to everything
|___________|As an alternative, I was thinking Power line ethernet adapters to overcome the physical distance. One to provide the feed, and one to receive it. A cheap network switch would allow two (or more) upstairs pc-connected tvs to be in synch.
But what's the most idiot proof software to use? VLC is available on windows for upstairs, but how do I serve a camera and sound feed (mics & music) downstairs? PCs & Tablets are available & a few Macs. Linux is unknown to these folks, but If I serve them a ready-to-use option (e.g. on usb key), it will be tried.
I envisage no internet being connected. Every machine on this mini-network will be trusted, so security is not a consideration. What software would you use for this?
