ferguson 0 Posted November 19, 2013 Hello i am thinking on buying a hd-sdi system but am wondering is it possible to run 4 sdi camera signals down one cat5 with a four way bnc to cat5 splitter? or is there any other cable i could run four signals down? as i only want to run one cable, the distance would be about 50m! or would it be best to go for an ip system and run all cat 5 cables? the setup would be similar to this in the link below http://www.cctvcamerapros.com/4-Channel-Video-Transmitter-p/balun-4phub.htm Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
