RE: Video Splitters

Stuart,

Your previous post just popped into my NetLawyers folder.

In the event you never found a solution, and remembering that I
don't know what type video card, CRT, flat panel, or "video
splitter" you are using, I have an easy solution.

There are at least 4 means of transmitting video:
1. Composite
2. RBG
3. DVI
4. RF
5. Analog

In your case, I presume you are using an analog card, possibly
with a port that will switch to DVI for your panel monitor. So
when you connected 2 analog monitors all was well.

Then you introduced a panel display, most likely with a DVI
input. It worked well with your video card but was not so good
running behind a video splitter with an analog monitor attached
on the other side of the splitter.

Since you have 2 monitors that are likely different as to input,
I suggest you consider a newer dual-head (2 video out connectors
with special electronics behind those connectors. Such cards
allow the user to run different video outputs, e.g. analog and
DVI or analog and RF (TV), etc.

According to Matrox, a video card manufacturer, a G550, would be
one of many candidates as well as similar cards produced by
other manufacturers.

If your video card is not old and cost you a fortune, the only
other solution is a video converter box that receives the output
from a PC and converts the signal into 2 or more types of video
speeds. However, video converters are generally quite expensive.

So, I would suggest a dual-head video card that can output the 2
types of video that work best with each monitor.
