Video and UTP

As the analog broadcast and digital data worlds converge, one area with a great deal of interest is in running video signals over unshielded twisted pairs (UTP). Because of the differences between coaxial cable and twisted pairs, the differences between analog video and digital video, and the wide range of picture quality attainable, there is a lot of confusion. This paper is an attempt to sort out the various parameters and requirements and allow an end-user to make an informed decision. — This paper is divided into four sections: Twisted Pair Technology, Analog Video, Broadband, Networking Digital Video, and Digital Video. Each has its own set of requirements and system parameters. Twisted pair technology is ideal with some and difficult with others.
