    What is the best cable to run long distances?
    In a live event scenario where you need to connect 4 projectors to one video mixer. Distances range from 100 ft (30m), 150 ft (45m) and 200ft (60m).
    With needing the least amount of boosters.

    Ideally, these days you would use DVI optical fiber, but that can be very expensive not worth the possible damage in uncontrolled situations.

    At 200 feet, you can still run some good quality RGBHV cabling without much degradation as long as you don’t cross power.

    Would it be best to get 5*200ft BNC cables for that job?
