Video distribution amplifier?
Posted: Wed Feb 15, 2012 10:58 pm
There exists a chapel with a video point of input in the wall of the overflow. This port accepts cables with a composite (RCA) termination.
The other end of this run is just under 170' from the satellite/audio/video distribution gear physically which means that with the vertical displacement and routing around the central courtyard we are reasonably close to 250' cable length.
From the A/V closet there is another run of analog back the full 250'(ish) feet where it goes through two passive splitters with one line running another 50 feet to the front of the chapel, and the others running about 20, 25, 50 and 100 feet to various other points in the building all of which have F connectors.
First problem: the video quality of the new D70 is great - when viewed on the monitor attached to the distribution system in the closet. By the time the signal is sent back through the 30+ year old wiring the degradation is evident.
Will this make the problem go away?

Second problem: On the opposite side of the chapel from where the video input is located is a 2nd floor cry room with a glass bay window overlooking the chapel. This is located about 50-60' away horizontally and about 12' vertically away. This is the logical place to seat the camera operator as he can watch the proceedings and control where the camera is pointing. Yet another link to the video output tangle will have to be routed to this room so he can actually monitor the video stream that he is controlling.
They are going to want to be able to put the lyrics of the hymns up on the TVs and projectors during conference so there needs to be a way to switch between video sources (probably between camera and laptop). I am guessing that I will have to route the video input feed through that room and then back to the A/V closet (extending the distance accordingly).
