Hardware Requirements for Dell Inspiron 5160 laptop

[gduns - with the Lord]

I have an rf modulating switcher. it can take 4 audio and video inputs, and switch them to what is needed. It is from Best Buy, made by rca. you can go into it s-video, and come out either video, or rf (channel 3 or 4) for the tv. If your s-video isnt in color, you may have a bad cable. I had a cable to that once.

each switching channel (4) on the switcher will take in either rca video, s-video and 2 channels audio. it will output s-video, rca video, 2 channel audio, and/or rf out.


Hope this helps.

I also use an RF modulator because I also use an old VCD 5-tray carousel so I can keep the show going with all the new disks my singers bring in. But sometimes still have to use my newer DVD/CDG player for homemade disks so you can read everything. I do this because where I am at now most of the singers bring in their own disks and it is very time consuming to "add to the playlist" through my external plextor, that it's just easier to put them in a regular machine so I can just hit play and no writing of the song or the singer's name.
As for a large TV being 50' away, I have a friend who does this wirelessly so he doesn't have to use cables. RadioShack does sell this, but it is costly. It comes with 1 transmitter & 1 receiver to go to 1 TV, but if you buy another receiver so you can hook up both your monitor & another TV, then the total cost is $160, just so you don't have to use cables. If you do this all the time, then the cost would be worth it. Why can't you move your show closer to the big screen TV? Usually that TV is closer to the singers!
