| Post subject: | How Do I Get Multiple Monitors From A Laptop |
Hi KJ's, I run s-video from my laptop to my karaoke monitor. I would like to send the signal to a projector screen, etc. so that the audience can see the words too. How do I do this with S-video. I can't find any switchers or routers in any major electronics store and they don't make s-video splitters. Please Help. Thanks, Luke |

Thanks, Luke Radio Shack should have an rf modulator that you can run one cord out of the rf modlator and split it that way. This should do the job with a splitter for coaxial: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index ... =techSpecs |

the amp I have has three video outputs, so that's three without even TRYING to use any other equipment... there's lots of video amping/splitting equipment out there, and just splitting wires (rca cord split to TWO rca female or male connections) will help for TWO monitors from one.

Radio shack used to have several different units on display in their stores that would handle the task. Lately, I haven't noticed them in the store See "5-Way" (I own two of these) http://www.radioshack.com/family/index. ... rter%20box Please note the one and only drawback with this unit is that the audio will not work if there is no video connected EDIT: the previous sentence s/b adjusted to reflect that there must be a video line connected, the video does not actually have to be playing |

If you need only one split, Ebay has a lot of s-video splitter cables and adapters. Radio Shack did at one time sell a small box that did multiple splits of either composite or svideo ( because I own one), but they're not availabe anymore. I bought mine on Ebay. DD |

Not sure if this will work in your situation but why not convert the S-video signal to a more cost efficient cable or wire. Radio shack does sell S-video to rca or composit type convertors. I assume the S-video source is your pc or laptop, connect the S-video cable to the adapter / convertor and use standard phono plugs and splitters to send the signal to all the monitors you wish. Using S-video connections and splitters seems way to expensive to me. I may be possible to connect the S-video cable to one monitor and "daisy chain" the signal to the other monitor via standard cables, that is if any of your monitors has a Video Out connector. Hope that all made sense. The S-video to phono plug convertor is a small device, similar to any other type of plug adaptor. Since Radio Shack seems so popular here I'll post the link, the adaptor is $14.95 I'm sure you can save a lot of money using the standard video wiring. http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2405953&cp=2032058.2032231.2032280&allCount=321&fbn=Cable+type%2FVideo+adapters&f=PAD%2FCable+Type%2FVideo+adapters&fbc=1&parentPage=family |
