Transmitting the video signal into a twisted pair provides an effective method of canceling extraneous noise and crosstalk. Shielded twisted pair wires have more capacitance but drastically reduce the operating distance for carrying video over UTP wires. Untwisted wires are susceptible to interference that will result in a degradation of the video quality.
