We have tested several brands of video extension devices and cables at
WSD-Analog, Mountainview, California. These tests were performed at the
request of Walt Disney Productions, Because they are interested in the
same thing that you are...distance.

We found that most off the shelf video extenders will suffice, However we
were unable to find a unit that would deliver a decent picture with a SUN
HI-RES monitor (either ECL or RGB). So in short we have designed our own
Video Extender or as its more affectionately known as "The Disney Line
Extender".

We can transmit either ECL or RGB video to 200 MHz and up to 500 feet from
the server. We also transmit and receive keyboard and mouse commands
simultaneously. So if this sounds like something you want or would like to
try on trial basis, give me a call.......

                                                 Michael J. Hebert
