There is no way to send any signal over fiber without active electronics. Singlemode fiber has essentially an unlimited bandwidth, HDMI will have long since disappeared before singlemode would be unable to handle the bandwidth. The way I see it, IP/Networks are going to be the ideal way to extend/distribute video. So a fiber pull based on future network usage seems like a good idea.
I know active is required. I'm thinking an integrated solution such as this
[Link: chromisfiber.com] would be little better than an active copper cable.
I don't like any solution that becomes useless if the electronics fail.
Seems like it would need to be the fiber equivalent of current HDMI over cat extenders. If the extenders fail, grab another set.
