cat5 VGA bauln

[Mr_P]

I use TV-One extenders - but on cat6 cable - seems to work better than some cheap cat5. specs: http://www.tvone.co.uk/cat5transpage.shtml
limit is about 300m at 1280x1024.

You wont find an HD VGA extender that works reliably over about 50m - use fibre, its not too expensive if you shop around. Think logical boxes are fairly reasonable (DVI and VGA) - theres loads out there..... I;ve just done a whole lot of research and still keep finding more....

Incidentally - The Lindy DVI cat 5 extender works great up to 1600x1200@60Hz and is quite cheap too. Theres an HDMI one on its way in about 6 months I've been told. Couldnt believe the price of this one either: http://videogame.brando.com.hk/prod_...?prod_id=00506

I would suggest Magenta Research stuff,
I have used their multiview line on several shows.
I will never go back to using normal video cable for anything longer than 50'
- 1920 x 1200 resolution at 2000 ft.(610m)
- 1600 x 1200 resolution at 1500 ft.(457m)
- 2048 x 1536 resolution at 1000 ft. (305m)

I would suggest this transmitter,

and for the reciever,

That will easily get you the distance and resolution you need.

Let me know if you have any questions.
