Arg, why is #Blackmagic the only one that has a media converter for #HDMI over #SFP?
#AliExpress only has over RJ45 and IP. Both have some quirks.
The one that has the best video quality has laggy usb. (But all of them support HDCP - even the latest version).
The blackmagic one doesn't 馃檭
Based upon how much money I already invested in multiple different kinds of HDMI extenders I probably should just buy a percussion drill, a long drill for stone walls, conduit, a 20m HDMI cable, and a 20m USB cable.
Then rip out that shitty "flat Cat.7 RJ45" cable I've shoved through the door and that gets kinked every time the door opens and closes or trying to fit a thin fiber in the space below the door...
Still way cheaper than the Blackmagic stuff and so far that one is the only one that appears to be somewhat reliable and true to 4k 60Hz and all. But then it also lacks the USB.
And I don't want to buy yet another 130 Euro thing from AliExpress to experiment with either...
Just stumbled upon #MPO connectors for #fiber wiring.
But it would end up at 600 Euro easily as well though. (Not going to spend that. Can buy a lot of long HDMI and USB cables to replace ones damaged by shoving them through the door :D
But if anyone is interested here the 8k HDMI over MPO cable:

8K DP over MPO: https://www.heyoptics.net/products/8k-displayport-fiber-cable
I still kinda hate that the best solution for my problem turns out to be to just drill that stupid hole through the wall which I wanted to avoid that entire time.
Esp. because by now I already spent about 250-300 Euro for 3 different kinds of extender...
