Re: Any DIY balun info for S-video to Cat5 conversion?



Hello Dave,

I'd like to see if it would be acceptable picture quality wise to run
s-video from a podium over ~125 ft of Cat5E back to a video switcher
that feeds a multimedia projector.  I've Googled and only found
commercial units that cost ~$70/pair.

Can anyone point me to a website that shows how to construct these
converters? (would 100bt transformers do the job?)

LAN transformers? I doubt you will achieve an acceptable image quality. Check this out:
