Closed circuit TV?

[Bernie]

Does anyone know how to rig such a setup? I would like to send output from my laptop (Composite Video out), to roughly 5-6 TV's arranged around a room. Does anyone know how to set something like that up? Is it expensive to buy some kind of signal splitter/amplifier?

Your advice is greatly appreciated thanks!

All you need are cables and a distribution amp. Kramer Tools is perhaps the most well known manufacturer of DAs:

Here it is at Kramer's website

Here it is for sale at B&H

That's the 1-input, 5-output model, the 105VB. By using coax, you save yourself the trouble of having to run separate audio cables. So you'll also need a composite-to-coaxial converter of some kind, to go from the computer into the DA.

The 105VB runs between $100 and $180, depending on where you buy it. I actually have a spare, new-and-unopened 105VB. I'll undercut B&H by $20 if you want it.
