There are two ways to look at this, 1… Start with the highest quality image possible because you are going to loose a lot of quality in the codec.
(Analog style security cameras utilize composite connections and run hundreds of feet.) You could even use a video amp to extend further.Īlso consider that when you encode/compress the stream for broadcasting, you are essentially throwing away a lot of the original quality. You can absolutely run composite video over RG-59 or RG-6 without any trouble up to a few hundred feet in my experience.
