What type of shows do you do and how much does A/V integrate with your events?
What equipment do you need to interface with?
What's your existing infrastructure?
What's your 10-year plan for upgrades you would like to be prepared for from an infrastructure standpoint?
What do you need to be able to do based on frequent requests you are unable to accommodate?
What do you want to be able to do based on infrequent requests you don't need to accommodate but would like to be able to?
Yeah thats what I was thinking for a Temperary Solution. Long term tho, we want them permanently installed at different points on stage, dressing room and the pit.Can you easily run cable through the tunnel to the booth? In which case you could run as needed on a show by show basis, not the easiest or most reliable solution, but probably the cheapest. I would also look in to expanding your network using CAT6/CAT7, just running 4 or 5 patches could let you adapt to tons of different situations. You could run HDMI (Cheaper option) and although I don't know the systems well I know at least Clear-Com can be run over CAT6 using helixnet or something.
So then my best short term option would be a few runs of Cat5 with Rj45 connectors on both ends with a HDMi converter on either end or whatever source I need.
Noting still that 3G-SDI only supports a 4:2:2 colour space for 1080p60, HDBaseT will do 1080p60 in 4:4:4.
In many cases this won't be a problem, but there are times I've been boned by colour space incompatibilities...
