Video over cat5

Archived from groups: rec.video.desktop (More info?)

I want to be able to show a video (either captured or live feed) from
one room over a cat5 connection to another room. Is there a good
tutorial/white paper out there on how to do this?

It may be too simple for a tutorial/white paper. There are many
products available that allow using UTP CAT5 to send audio
and video. Simply a matter of plugging everything in and just
using it.

There might be a solution at this site:

I am using Cat-6 cables; but I am simply using them for normal 100Mbps
speed instead of Gigabit. I can send video from a PC to two MediaMVP
devices (a cheap $80 to $90 device). But the MediaMVP software that
send video to MediaMVP device is a bit buggy. This is OK for home use
considering the low price. If you demand a very refine presentation or
something to impress people, you may need something else.
