Trying to use multiple T.V.'s

[Musicman51]

I daisy chain the TV's in our club together, and been lucky. I can run up to 5 without any realatively noticable loss in signal quality...well to speak of.

Normally we only run 3 TV's as well. However now some of the older guys in the club want to watch the olympics on the tv behind the bar. And of course they feel they have to have the volume cranked up. And the olympics now, is all music, advertisements with music, sell sell sell...I went to the commander of our club, and told him to turn the volume off, or i'll see them after the olympics are over. Had to put a stop to the loud nascar telecast during karaoke as well. Want to watch TV stay home, wanna sing, fill out a song request slip, and come'on up. They put it on mute....

i'm with you on that, so far i have been lucky, the place ( restaurant ) i play now is a restaurant from noon to 9pm,they will have 3 flat screen tv's on and some dinner music going,and after that it's karaoke time, 9-to close depends on how many people are still in , usually till about 2am, but anyway after 9pm they only turn on 1 big 54" flat screen tv, and my monitor..so that way everyones attn. is on the show. i have played in sports bars and i hated it, you get some not so nice people with nasty comments and specially when they have pool and dart leagues, it's like they owned the place.

I play in a bar that has 6 t.v.'s all looped together(they also use it for bingo). they have one coaxiel (which is the supply) going into a splitter which feeds all of their t.v.'s. I want to go out of my computer (which has s-video out and vga out) into a radioshack rf modulator (which accepts s-video and rca and turns it into coaxiel) as well as my tv monitor which accepts s-video and rca. looks like the s-video splitter that musicman is talking about. Where did you pick up the s-video splitter in the pic musicman? is it this from radioshack?

I know almost all you pro's on here are aware of this. But i'd thought i would post this little tid bit of information for the newbies whom might be having a problem when they go to set up their hoster system. So not trying to be redundant here....

For mine I go Svideo to RCA out of computer to my mixer (VocoPro) which has video in and out for up to 3 devices.

This may work for dale. Apparently his VocoPro will accept an S-Video signal, by means of a S-Video to RCA adapter cable, and modulate it to an RCA or coax 75ohm signal, most will not. They need a transformer in the line, like the little black one pictured on my other post.

Nothing i have pictured in this post will work! Save your money.

Incidently, my show laptop {Toshiba} for some reason, will work with either the 4 or 7 "Din" S-Video cable????

The photos i have included is an illustration of what doesn't work.

A little high on shipping and some other stuff but you get what you pay for a lot of times). I tell ya.. you want to know an answer to a ??? this is the spot. Thanks again to all of you!
