They helped big time and I am happy with my 75' component cable. Eventually I plan to make my own as suggested by grinner.</p> <p>Two new questions:</p> <p>1. Will 100' feet of component cable hurt me? (Doing 1080 video out of Canon HV30.)</p> <p>2. Can I even mix 75' and 100' cables without there being some delay between the two?</p> <p> </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-long-cables-for-live-broadcast#post-70888 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 14:48:21 +0000 sneal88 70888@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Thanks EarlC,</p> <p>That helps alot. I will check out Markertek. </p> <p>Hopefully this RG59 will give me good-enough quality to work with. </p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-long-cables-for-live-broadcast#post-70844 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 17:31:11 +0000 EarlC 70844@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>The cable Grinner refers to is your typical RG59 assembly that often comes with BNC connectors and is readily available at places such as Markertek, etc. Canare is a popular, top-quality cable, and rather than using crimp tools to create your own, as over-simplified by Grinner, I suggest spending the extra money to acquire them already made ... sturdier construct.</p> <p>The cable is more robust than your standard cabling that comes with RCA plugs. I use the RG59 cable for runs of up to 200 feet but still use RCA-to-BNC adapters to connect to various cameras. This type cable holds up better to more-than-average use, daily, even weekly, and isn't as quick to get weird kinks and twists, with wires breaking internally, and is better insulated for better quality signal transfer.</p> <p>It will NOT match up to digital connections or HDMI et al, and I don't use it very often for recording signals, mostly for long runs for feed/input or satellite export from live feed to a player or projector in other rooms.</p> <p>I also have used with good results standard issue RCA analog cable and connectors, but for runs of more than 75-100 feet I use a distribution amp to keep the signals strong.</p> <p>There are a LOT of options, and it would take a course and accompanying book to go into it all, but you can pick up a lot visiting the MarkerTek people or Google searches for various things like video connections, signals, strengths, weaknesses, etc. Hope this info helps a bit.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-long-cables-for-live-broadcast#post-70843 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 17:00:27 +0000 sneal88 70843@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Okay, I did my homework. Ignore my questions. Thanks for your help!</p> <p>I would like to ask...could I just use RCA ends instead of BNC, or is there a reason you suggest using BNC connectors.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-long-cables-for-live-broadcast#post-70841 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 08:31:57 +0000 sneal88 70841@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>really? so use standard cable wire that is used for tv? that makes sence for long distances.</p> <p>now, how would i connect that to my camera? my camera has "rgb component". please dont tell me i would need some expensive converter or something.</p> <p>i kno these are prob amateur questions...sry</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-long-cables-for-live-broadcast#post-70840 Fri, 09 Sep 2011 06:56:53 +0000 grinner 70840@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>Making your own componant cables is the norm. Easy enough... just crimping bnc ends to cut spools.</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/need-long-cables-for-live-broadcast#post-70837 Thu, 08 Sep 2011 17:05:57 +0000 sneal88 70837@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p> Hello,</p> <p>I'm a first time post(er). I wanted to ask for alittle advice before I upgrade.</p> <p>I broadcast live games, and events with 4 Canon HV30s. Their connected to my PC via firewire. Firewire gives me excellent quality, but its short! My longest cable it 25'</p> <p>What should I use for long distances? My camera outputs composite, component, and HDMI.</p> <p>Is anyone using 100' component cable? HDMI? Am I overlooking a better way? I will need to buy capture cards as well (possibly Intensity Pro) but I want to figure out what cable I should go with while keeping my great quality. HELP! lol</p> http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/topic/where-can-i-get-a-cheap-video-mixer#post-43361 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 08:12:32 +0000 kr0490 43361@http://www.videomaker.com/community/forums/ <p>I need a cheap 4 channel video mixer.  It needs to have composite connections preferable, or BNC.  I need one for around or under $800.  I prefer it have a slide bar, and needs to do basic fading and mixing.  Thanks for any help!</p>
