I'd like to know how to get a high quality video signal from 3 different devices to a Plasma TV that is about 200 feet away. I have a computer and a camcorder with s-video outputs. And I have a DVD player with S-Video and component outputs, plus digital audio coaxial output (RCA connector that carries PCM/DTS/Dolby digital). In each case I need to send both video and audio.

The building is wired with Cat 5 and with Commscope RG6 coax cable. I believe the cables go to a distribution closet then to the Plasma tv.

The TV that will display the signal is a High Definition plasma TV which has all types of inputs including component and s-video, but it doesn't have RF coax input.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Can you run more cable? How many coax exist now? What's the budget?

There are distribution systems that can run signal over CAT5. And some that can run over one coax, but these would most likely be modulators that would require RF input. That could probably be added to the plasma. Wireless systems, also, but they are probably not capable of perfect continual transmission. Yet.

Try searching for this at Markertek.com as an example: CP-SVC10

You would need to add switching, but that's easy.

Audio Authority has a product that would get the job done using CAT5.

Audio Authority Model 9870 Cat 5 HDTV Signal Distribution System

It doesn't have S-video, but that isn't too hard to get around.
