fiber connector question - extending HD signals in a theatre

No difference in connector type going from LC to SC or visa versa .  It's all about mode type -single or multi you cannot mix without going through a converter. 

We have the Blackmagic fiber extenders and fiber to HDMI converter... They are all LC end to end...

I am speccing a project that needs to send HDMI over fiber in a building. The GC is insisting on terminating the multimode with LC connectors. I am looking at using a Gefen or Blackbox extenders, they require multimode with SC connectors. I see that there are available patch cables that go from LC to SC, does anyone know if there is any gotcha when using these mixed connector patch cables?

Also - Does anyone have a favorite extender? I am not sold on any that I have seen. I see a number of cat6 based ones too, also there is now HDbaseT. I assume latency is a tradeoff, but is it really an issue?
