how can I display a picture (still image) on multiple TV screens?
I recently bought a large box of CATV cable, ends, tools, and distribution amplifiers at an auction, so I decided to experiment. I ran cable through my house, using the amplifiers, to each of my 4 TVs. The signal, though, is coming from the one in my bedroom, which is the only one that has a significant amount of video equipment connected to it. On the source end of the cable, I placed an RF modulator with a composite and S-video input. I tested my system by connecting a VCR/DVD player to the composite input. The signal appears and sounds fine on every TV. Is there a way that I can make an image appear on every TV screen? My DVD player does not have photo capabilities and I would like a relatively high quality image. I have it on my computer; it is 1024x768 resolution. Is there any way that I can show it with a composite or S-video signal, so that it can be seen on all of my TVs at the same time?
Not that comes to mind without buying another part.
If your computer happens to have a composite video out, plug it into the modulator. I'm guessing you would have already done this...
You could get a scan converter to adapt the computer's output to composite video. Will probably cost about $100 to $200.
There are a number of new items (AV receiver, TV, TIVO, etc.) coming to market that allow images to be pulled from a computer if they are connected to the same Ethernet. You might find an inexpensive piece that has this feature.
Or maye just get a new DVD player that will play the image from a disc. Probably your least expensive option.
Good Luck!
