I am going to be broadcasting a large event for work on a very limited budget and I have run into a problem that I was hoping to get an answer to. Any and all solutions are most welcome.

I need to stream 4 cameras (logitech c920) to my computer in order to run Wirecast as my switching program and I need to run more than 100' for each camera. I know that USB will not be able to go those distances so I have been looking into using a USB over Cat5 connection. However, when I tried an unpowered USB over Cat5 connector I saw a dramatic reduction in video quality. Would using a powered USB over Cat5 solve that problem, or will this solution not work?

Right now the space that has been chosen is wired for Cat5 and I will be able to plug into the main switch station (not sure what it is called in computer terminology) with signal running through the walls, then out to my cameras.

Thank you in advance.
