30 m!  Can't you move the kit nearer?  Spec for standard HDMI cables is 5m, higher quality cables 8m  Much over either and you will have to reduce the image type to 570SD.

Why do you need to run over 30 metres?  That is a big ask unless you use CAT6 type network cabling (rated to 100 metres) as the wire, and even then you'll need a pair side-by-side and make up your own connectors.

Sorry, misread the length.  20m is more achievable and there is this on on Amazon - seems to have good write ups....has the latest spec.

I have their cables on my setup and they're fine.  Considering you can pay obscene amounts of money, these are pretty reasonable.
