Display Main Playback on distantly workplace like Followspot

Hi,

is it possible to display the mainplayback window on a separete screen at an distantly workplace like followspot. a long video-cable with a splitted signal from screen 1 is unlikely a very expensive solution. is it possible to use ethernet without the well know standard converters.

best way would be just a screen at the followspot location.

 

greets

  • A remote VGA monitor driven from a splitter on one screen is almost certainly the cheapest option by far.

    Assuming a 'long' way, you would need a VGA splitter, VGA to Cat5 balun, length of Cat5 cable, Cat5 to VGA balun, VGA monitor.
    (Less than about 30-40m at 1024x768 is usually ok with just a splitter and good-quality long VGA cable, though you may see a bit of 'smearing'.)

    - I've used a pair of Extron VGA baluns to send 1024x768 VGA signals approx. 150m across a building site for a topping out ceremony, which is almost certainly considerably further than you need.

    Both the balun 'converter' and the active VGA splitter are necessary - the signal will not go far without them.

    Finally, it is important to mention that these are not Ethernet to VGA converters.
    These baluns are simply using Cat5 cable - do not connect them to an ethernet switch, hub, router, PC or other ethernet equipment as it could damage them.
