Mains to power cameras, I haven't specifically asked for this but there shouldn't be a shortage of power, given all the mains sockets on the walls anyway.

All indoor stage video cables to V12'''''2'''''
'''CAT5 ADAPTORS'''
Will probably have the powered one in the hall, and the passive one on the main stage.  This will of course only work if the passive one can send a decent signal all the way to V120 from the main stage.  The distances to the two stages are about equal.
*  Advantages:
**  Powered one receives three signals, we have three cameras on indoor stage, one cat5 to back of hall and out of window towards V122 (avoids having three bncs running across the hall, saves cable length, simplifies run, fewer potential fault points etc.).
**  Main Stage is more important, the passive sender sends one signal on each pair, they're completely isolated as far as I (Malcolm) know.  If one pair develops a problem we still have three good camera signals being sent along the cat5.
**  Is bidirectional, the monitors at the main stage will receive signal, uses one of the less-reliable and lower-quality cat5 pairs rather than a BNC for low-priority monitors.
*  Disadvantages
**  May not be powerful enough to send signal, would prefer signal from mains stage to be good.
