Hey /diy/ I've recently come to aquire many older tvs, not

Think I should try /g/ next, they seem to know electronics but a hand would be great

smells of troll. nobody is this retarded.

Do a search for "composite cable spltter".

You could also use coaxial cable splitters, if your cable box has a coaxial output. Might be slightly less quality, but probably cheaper and easier to split, especially if you really have "many" TVs. You can still go to just about any electronics or hardware store and get coax splitters, and you can chain them endlessly (albeit with increasing signal loss) if you really need that many TVs.

Yeah it will work ok you can get stacking phono leads for stereo equipment, they only have red and white for audio but it will still work for yellow video it might just look a bit shit I guess if it picks up interference.
If you chain too many your box might get upset at you, some tvs might work better than others, you might have to play with the order in the chain, some might work in different positions in the chain from the box.
You can get equipment to split the signal and amplify the signal at the same time. There will still be loss and degradation and shit because its analog, no scope for error correction.

There is no guarantee that the video and audio will be all exactly in sync, the video won't be obvious but the audio will, just mute or don't connect audio that's out of step if you need to.

Composite splitters might be a little niche, if you switch to rf you might find equipment easier, multiswitches are dime a dozen.

Thanks dudes, I'll see if I can pick some up sometime soon, have a good one

Lots of vague info here.

You do NOT double up on composite video without a distribution amp unless you monitors have a high impedance input which most domestic monitors never had.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Kramer-1-20-Programmable-Video-Audio-Distributor-VM-20ARII-Distribution-Amp-/131974858158

here, video distribution amp, as (righteously..) suggested by above anon - 4 in, 20 out, ie - you can select between 4 plugged-in input sources and up to 20 outputs - Quality shit, yours for $15 and, you dont wanna know what these puppys costed when new.

Basically, you plugging in lots of tvs, youll need an amp, see also Extron, old Sony gear, etc. What they more or less all have in common over cheap Chinkshit amps, they use BNC plugs for video (audios normal phono connectors), as the professionals choice. Just get a pile of small phono-BNC adapters, cost buttons, and attach to the ends of your cable if you using those triple phono cables, as per pic. If you doing long runs (or even at all) you should actually be using proper 75Ohm coax cable with BNCs for video, and adapter from BNC to phono socket if needed, but, its not vital, you'll notice when a cable is too long, or too shit.

Don't forget a digital to analog signal converter

Back. The. Fuck. Up.
Jew telling me monitors were low impedance?
So you could not go to say, monoprice
(and I bought 50' VGA cables, 30' HDMI cables, 25' headphone cables, and tons of splitters from monoprice) and split a shit ton of composite signals for things like pirating a ton of VHS cassettes? This predates the internet so I don't expect an answer.

you were buying HDMI cables to pirate VHS cassettes? You either a man in advance of his time, or, one far behind it.. Dont think I've ever seen a VHS player with HDMI, but, be happy to be proved wrong..
