With the additional insights, I've been able to finalize the system. Hopefully this will be able to be used by others in similar situations in the future.
Equipment List
We'll have a return coax line from that rack to our light booth where it will come into our PC via the tuner card. We'll use a splitter to run a coax feed right to a small TV in the box office. From the computer, we'll have one DVI-D output for the in-booth monitor and another DVI-D output to the DVI-D/HDMI converter by the computer. We'll run HDMI from that to the lobby (about 30 feet) that will input to a TV for patrons.
The reasoning behind this setup was that the box office would only need a house video feed for monitoring purposes. We did it differently for the lobby TV as we will use the booth PC to show pre/post show and intermission announcements and then switch to the house feed during the show. By initially running the video/audio from the modulator to TV distro rack, we can give a pure feed to the school's TV system which covers the dressing rooms and other overflow areas.
Can't wait to get it set up. Any questions, feel free to ask.
