What is the best way to send an HD signal from a camcorder to a television that's FAR away?
My church wants to set up a camera on our pastor and just feed the live HD signal to a TV in the back of the church (approx 150ft). what is the best/cheapest way to do this without purchasing a 200ft. HDMI cable? is there a wireless method?? I’ve seem this done before so i know it’s possible. we are trying to avoid keeping the camera in the back and zooming in 100ft (degrading HD quality). thanks!!

This may sound dumb, but I’m just thinking out loud here. Why not set up an HD webcam on the pastor. Then you can have the TV in the back hooked up to a cheapie computer running whatever program (I prefer Skype) and just set it up like a chat?
You can do that wirelessly.
@mrrich724 im not sure this is a sufficient method because we would need TWO laptops to correctly do this correct? one for the camera and another in the back to plug into the tv. and im a little doubtful that an HD webcam would be full excellent quality HD on a 42” flat panel television. it would be delayed and glitch and stutter and drop frames. I’m looking to simply send the signal from an HD camera we already have. thanks anyway though, i actually wouldn’t have thought of that and am glad you brought it to my attention.
All the wireless solutions I have seen for this are more then a 200ft HDMI cable would cost.
This might offer some insight in the comments. The one I found that is 999 dollars only works up to 30 feet.
A simple home cable/digital sharing transceiver system. You can get them for under one hundred dollars nowadays. The type you use to display your digital/cable program on multiple TVs. I have one that I have added high gain directional antennas to ($29.00 each) that will transmit five hundred metres.
