Video/Audio Across Property

Here I go for my first post...needing some advice here.

Since COVID, I have used OBS to live stream our church services and have truly enjoyed using the software. I currently have a decent setup inside our sanctuary and have no complaints. However, our congregation is starting to hold some special services at our Memorial Gardens which is across our property. I am looking for suggestions on how to get video and audio for those limited times we are at the Memorial Garden. The image shows where the sanctuary is in our building and the path we use to get to the Memorial Garden.

Any suggestions would be great and please feel free to email me directly if you need more. Thanks in advance!

SDI is good for 300 feet on RG-6 coax or equivalent, with BNC at each end. Does that work for you? If not, you might put something active in the middle - splitter, convert to something and convert back, whatever - which resets the cable length.

SDI is like HDMI in that it carries digital HD video and audio, but it doesn't support encryption like HDMI does. So make sure that the HDMI is not encrypted when you feed the first converter to SDI.

Or you might run some Cat-5 or better and put the entire streaming rig out there, with a wired connection back to your main network.

Thank you for the suggestions, much appreciated.
