Looking for some advice..

I have a project where every TV was originally ran with high quality VGA cables back in 2006. Unfortunately it is not going to be possible to run cat5/6 to replace these cables.

Idea:
To take the HDMI out of my Crestron DM Switcher to a Balun Set like the SnapAV B-200-5COAX-HDIR, or Atlona AT-HD-RG100SR then using a Atlona AT19082-4 VGA to RGBHV (BNC) or RGBHV (BNC) to VGA Breakout Video Cable, attach it to the VGA cable to run to the TV and then the same on the other end to the TV?

I have spent the last 4 hrs online trying to find a solution, and have not had any firm conclusions as to an answer to whether this solution could work?

Please if anyone could give me some advice on this it would be greatly appreciated.

 I'd call Snap or Atlona and ask them

If (a very big if) you are going to pursue this option DO NOT use the 5 cable Genum product.
Instead use the single cable HDMI/SDI conversion type system.
Also; make sure that the breakout is BNC not RCA.

Arrange with Brent to have him consult, for money, on this. He'll get the right info to you. He's already given you something valuable in telling you a thing to avoid.
A good answer is easier with a clear question giving the make and model of everything.
