I deal with quiet a few super screens....
You will have to find out what inputs they can deal with..... Be it Composite , HD/SDI or SD/SDI etc , and the sort of distance between your output and the screen itself.
Also will you be providing production which includes your drone feed, or are you just a part of a larger switched production ?
If you are doing the lot, you will need more than one source of pictures, to "Cover up" your drones downtime......ie a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th camera to build up a production that is continuos tot he screen/s
In most cases, the camera's will all feed back to the Production van or area, then a director would switch the appropriate camera to the screen/s.
So as the drone pilot, you would want the shortest , most reliable transmission path for you air to ground feed, then run either another microwave link, Optic Fibre or cabled feed to the Production van.
They would then run a solid connection from them to the screens in most cases, or if a long way apart, they may run more microwave links.....
If you are talking about just a TV or simple display and thats all, and you are not worried about the "Amateur" look when there is no production, you will just have to run a receiver close to the TV, up high so the bird can get a good line of sight to it and keep everything crossed the signal holds up without to many drop outs.
You could run a cable but bear in mind HDMI won't travel far without the use of repeaters, and if you convert to SDI, you will have to do the same if you intend going more than say 120m or so.There are also cheaper options using Cat5/6 cable and baluns with a composite feed over long distances, that would require you to convert your pictures to a Composite (Pal or NTSC video) feed.......as long as you can get the cable safely from you to the TV you can go up to around 600 feet and still get usful pictures if its a non broadcast spec event.
