ATEM Television Studio - HDMI Length

PostWed Mar 05, 2014 5:42 pm

Hi all,
Question for the masses. I have a Television Studio, and I'm wondering if I would be safe running a 15ft HDMI cable from a DSLR, to an HDMI repeater, and then a 10ft HDMI cable to the ATEM.
Has anyone tried something similar? I know they say max. is 10ft HDMI cable, but since there's a repeater, would it work?

Thanks for the responses.

There are a bunch of issues with using a DSLR. I've tried it using a Canon 5dm2 and I can't get clean output from it. Before worrying about the cable length, I would make sure the camera can do what you want it to do.

There are a bunch of topics on this board about people trying this and then ended up purchasing cheaper video cameras.

You can also just get a convertor from hdmi to sdi.

From a NIKON D5200 DSLR, I run a 100 foot HDMI cable through a signal booster hooked to a 25 foot HDMI cable to the ATEM TVS. Get a clean HD output with no signal degradation.

Works for me!

If it wont work with long hdmi cabels try hdmi extender with network cabel. They are pretty cheap and should work just fine. At least the one I have. Probably you can combine the repeater and extender and get really looooong cables.

Good luck
