I have a brother-in-law who is trying to set up some new 72" (1080p capable) HDTVs at their church to displaying song lyrics and video clips, etc from a PC in the back of the sanctuary. Anyway, that is like 100' away. He is looking at a straight VGA cable run or a VGA - Cat5e - VGA conversion setup.
One thing that came up were the terms "Video Line Driver" and "Signal Booster". What is the difference. Does anyone here have any experience with video from that distance. I guess the TVs have HDMI input (but only does 720p over it) and the PC has DVI output. They won't be doing 1080p any time soon, but don't want to rewire for it down the road if they can do it now.
He likes the idea of the VGA to Cat5e to VGA because then the long runs would be over smaller Cat5e cables that don't have bulky plugs on the ends of them as they have to run through conduit. I've already told him about interference issues, especially with any parallel running power, etc.
Any help or thoughts would be helpful.
