Default Long cables run to plasma screens

I'm looking into the cabling of multiple plasma screens which could be 100m+ from the source.

The source could be a Sky box or a PC video card (eg PowerPoint).

As 100m+ is a fair hike I expect signal quality to be an issue. Is there a prefered solution for this sort of application?

TIA,

Chris.

Fibre optics, probably. The CCTV industry uses them all the time.

Put in a video/audio VDA and an RGB-S DA to push the signal, do it all the time for events.

Where I work pictures travel 100m from the cameras and then get sent back a 100m so people in the studio can see them with no probs. Long runs of 1 volt into 75 ohms on the composite side [as long as it is DA'd (distribution amplifier) properly and sent in impeadance matched high quality BNC coax] is no issue... Digital (SDI) is even easier...
