PuppetLight Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 I am looking into how I can show the same footage on multiple TV screens that vary in age just using one DVD player, if I have a scart multiplier leaving that, and then scarts going into scar screen, would that work?

paulears Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Maybe - the problem is that lots of cheap scart splitters are passive devices and if the gizmos hanging on the end are low impedance, which most are, the 1v peak to peak signal starts to drop. As the bit of the signal that keeps the devices synchronised is a less than athird of that 1v, once you lose some, some of the monitors connected may start to roll or jitter. You can get cheap amplified distribution amps that will work much better than a cheap passive split.CPChttp://cpc.farnell.com/productimages/farnell/standard/AV1181205-40.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deepvisual Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 nightmare running scart cables, get some scart to RCA/phono jumpers and run coax. you'll easy find a BNC or phono video distribution amp on ebay. people are throwing them away these days.

paulears Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Wiring scart connectors is always a pain in the bum. A clever idea for a single in out connector, but just awkward! Single ins and outs are so much more manageable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stuart91 Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 Wiring scart connectors is always a pain in the bum. They're also desperately unreliable if they are getting moved around and plugged/unplugged regularly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jivemaster Posted May 31, 2013 Share Posted May 31, 2013 You need to check the pin 8 voltage too. It controls the source that the screen displays, and in some cases the format it displays -wide to 4:3, according to the voltage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
