Stuck on Video Design
DavidPCherry:
I have a project where an HDMI input is about 70' away from the switcher and power is not available at the input. I have used a couple of difference CAT5 extender baluns with little results. Crazy thing is, my Mac would work but Windows10 PC would not. Client uses a Windows10 PC. I need to be certain it will work regardless. Any suggestions to get me unstuck?

Correct. Slight add - there are various options where the transmitter is powered by the receiver. Extron, Atlona, Magenta Research, etc is where I'd start.
Read up on HDCP, EDID, HPD first and make sure whichever brand you test in advance can manipulate/comply with these.
