You can get extenders that do the trick. 10 metres is about the
maximum length that it'll work properly though. The solution that I've
used before is a CCTV camera, proper shielded cable and a video
capture card[1]. This is great when you want to have really long runs
of cable between your encoding PC and the camera.

Cheers,

Simon
