I want to be able to show a video (either captured or live feed) from
one room over a cat5 connection to another room. Is there a good
tutorial/white paper out there on how to do this?

Video over ethernet.....
You could use 2 PCs, or design custom boxes.
The other thing you could do is create 100 Ohm impedance and send the video
diffferentialy as VIDEO over that cable (and use the other pair diff for audio?).

It may be too simple for a tutorial/white paper. There are many
products available that allow using UTP CAT5 to send audio
and video. Simply a matter of plugging everything in and just
using it.

Check with home theater installers. Seems like they would have some
sort of 'black box' to relay the signal thru cat5. If the source room
involves a pc you could use a 'media receiver' whose purpose is to
send whatever A/V your pc can produce thru cat5 or wireless to the
receiver in any other location in the house.

There might be a solution at this site:

For video, use CAT-6.

I am using Cat-6 cables; but I am simply using them for normal 100Mbps
speed instead of Gigabit. I can send video from a PC to two MediaMVP
devices (a cheap $80 to $90 device). But the MediaMVP software that
send video to MediaMVP device is a bit buggy. This is OK for home use
considering the low price. If you demand a very refine presentation or
something to impress people, you may need something else.
