jon lawrence Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Hi, does anyone know where I may find a 4 pin to 6 pin firewire cable roughly 50 meters long? I've been through google a few times but can't seem to come up with any that length. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sustaining Member Phil Rhodes Posted August 4, 2011 Sustaining Member Share Posted August 4, 2011 No. It's only supposed to go about five meters. What are you trying to achieve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jon lawrence Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 It was for shooting a live feed of a band playing in a studio. The computers are upstairs above the studio. Is there and way of linking a camera to a computer over this distance? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sustaining Member Phil Rhodes Posted August 4, 2011 Sustaining Member Share Posted August 4, 2011 This is what SDI is for. Probably you can get converters, but you might not like the price. P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jon lawrence Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Excuse my ignorance but could you give me some details regarding SDI- have no idea what it is. How much £ are we talking with the converters? Thanks, Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sustaining Member Phil Rhodes Posted August 4, 2011 Sustaining Member Share Posted August 4, 2011 SDI is a format for sending SD or HD digital video down 75-ohm coaxial cable with BNC connectors. It's designed to go around studios and postproduction facilities and will do long distances. There are several sub-categories. Price depends on the type. If you're talking about HDV cameras doing HD over firewire, something like this: http://www.creativev...t_hd-connect-le If you can't stretch to that, perhaps you could do analogue component.
