Post subject:  Venue video connection?

I am setting up my laptop with mp3+g. Being new to the KJ world, I was wondering which type of vidio out I should have ready. RCA, S-video or what? Any help you can provide would be helpful.

Thanks in advance.

Are you using a cdg single disc player as well? If so I run both video signals into an AV switch which allows you to switch from your laptop to the single disc player. If the laptop has an s-video output I would use that. Radio shack makes a s-video to rca video cord if the TV you use only has an rca video input.

Most new laptops do not have a s-video output. If this is the case there is a piece of hardware called PCtoTV by K-world which uses your VGA output and converts it to rca, s-video or RGB. I've used this and it works well.

Majority of the places you will run into will have either cable or dish service running over coaxial cable. Having a laptop with composite or s-video out and a rf modulator to convert to coax will probably cover most places.

My mixer mixes video as well as audio, and it has RCA output. I am going from the S-Video on the pc to the $25 S-Video to RCA thing from radio shack. Any tv made in recent memory is going to have a standard A/V RCA input. This wouldn't work in all situations, but has worked for all I have done.
