VGA Splitter/KVM/?????

HiRaX · 10th October 2008, 01:43 AM

Ok you audio/video geeks, I could really use a hand here. So I've constructed a new studio out of a home and I have a monitor mounted in the live room wall and a monitor in the control room on the wall. I have cameras connected to each so the live room talent can see us in the control room and visa versa. My computer (apple g5) has a dual port video card. (I use a dual monitor setup when I work) What I want to do is also run a feed (VGA) from the computer to both monitors mounted on the walls so if the talent wants they can see what I'm doing in pro tools from the live room. How do I go about maintaining my dual monitor setup while I work in addition to splitting a VGA signal to 2 additional monitors?

Thanks

-Chris

After splitting the vga signal, you can use a kvm extender, and conveniently use cat5 cable (cheap) to get to the studio room.. Picture quality is not super, but okay nevertheless..
