Multiple Screens

[JAYMEK]

I know this sounds like numerous threads already posted, but I cant find my answer.
I have my laptop hooked to the second monitor, and that's fine, but I need to hook into the establishments big screen, at the owners request. Can someone please tell me how/and what connectors I need to do this?

Thanks everyone. Hopefully soon I'll be able to help someone else. Experience is knowledge.

In my opinion the simplest way is to get an RF modulater the matches your output and from there you can hook a splitter up to any tv...

The answer is going to depend on the TV. If the TV has RCA inputs and its a short run (around 50ft?) I would do that so you don't have to mess around with the RF modulator. This is particularly good if It gets its TV signal from coax, then you just change the channel to "line" or "video" or "Input 1" or whatever your TV calls it. If the TV and you are using the same signal either RCA or Coax, you'll have to use a splitter and an A/B switch.

Sam, he is still going to need some type of splitter isn't he in order to go to his singers monitor and to the big screen TV?

a simple "Y" splitter that takes each signal to each destination

usually does it. I do it all the time, even have a splitter on a splitter that sends another laptop's messages to the singer's monitor.
