If you could run EMT for each cable or wire run that would help.

If you notice on Mono Prices website there are no HDMI Cables that are HIGH SPEED over 15 ft. you will not get the 1080P resolution with a cable longer than that.

1080i yes. For a 75 ft. run see mono prices website #7697 directional cable with EQ.
(Disclaimer I have never used this cable)

I run 50' cables without problem. The important thing to consider is the end termination. The thick cable is not pliable enough to connect to a mounted TV. After breaking several ends off 50 foot HDMI cords, I began carrying HDMI couplers on the truck and 1 foot HDMI cords. The 1 foot cable connects to the TV and then couples to the 50 foot. Viola, no more broken HDMI cords.

Monoprice sells little, well, I dunno what you call em, but they are about 6" long with a male on one end and a female on the other, for just that purpose. They are $1.24 I believe. They call them "port savers" I think.
