OK, is there a device that will allow me to have something like an 80ft cord? Like with your conference you went from the projector to the back of the room.

Still learning all of this, I won't need to get to your level just yet but I think this will be a great venture! :D

There are some active HDMI cables that can amplify the signal, or also HDMI repeaters, but it'll probably take some trial and error to find ones that work with your cameras. The "pro" version is to convert to SDI and back, which can go up to 300 feet.

  Yeah exactly. You might shop around a bit too cause sometimes the one-way converters are cheaper. Both those devices linked will convert both ways, but you could use a separate HDMI->SDI and SDI->HDMI device if that is cheaper.

  Perfect! So I would need two of these. One at the source (projector on stage) and then one by my setup to convert back. Awesome! You've been a huge help! <3

  Yep that should work! Decimator makes one too: amzn.to/2WlNH5K I haven't actually used that BMD one myself.

  OK! So the Blackmagic Design Micro Converter is what I would want for that then, right? To convert that back into HDMI and into the mini? THANK YOU For being such a big help! <3 <3 bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1401…

  Yep! The Decimator both converts from HDMI to SDI and also scales it, which is handy on the larger ATEMs that don't handle scaling themselves. On the other end, you'd need SDI->HDMI back in to the ATEM Mini if you're doing that.

  AH!!! So that'd be the Decimator piece you had. Gotcha. And then that went into another box by your setup. What box was that? I'll check the video here in a bit.
