SDI over Cat6

[hoosierman]

Has anyone repurposed Cat6 into an SDI run? Current Cat6 lines are 275'. Sorry...that should have read Cat6a.

Yes you can send SDI over Cat6 but you require units to covert to and from.. Google it

Yes, you will require a transmitter and receiver to convert the signal to be used on the Cat cable. Also, you will want to make sure that your cable run does not go through any network switches and is completely a dry-line.

Thanks for your post. Any recommendations on product?

AJA makes some good boxes for this kind of thing. Black Magic Design may have one as well.

You can send native SDI over coax that far and not need boxes at all...

But I get it if the NIC is already in place...
