945.0. "Amiga as video switch" by CSSE::WARD () Fri Dec 04 1987 10:40

I'm running the RCA jack CVBS signal from the A1000 to a RF 
modulator.  [Because I have a non-NTSC television]

The problem I'm having is a weakened broadcast signal at the
computer "TV - GAME". [switch acting like a splitter]

Rather than sinking money into a better antenna system, I'm
looking for a creative video distribution alternative. My
question is this - could the Motorola monitor tuner I have (it
allows my monitor to act as a TV) ...


	o Act as input for Amiga video and TV antenna

	o Output on CVBS either Amiga or selected TV channel (at
	  Amiga) for viewing on channel three of the TV.

	o Carry the audio RCA jack/cable to A/B switch between
	  the TV and stereo.

	o What additional equipment is needed, can the Audio be 
	  converted to FM stereo.

    A noter in the VIDEO notesfile indicated loss of one half of the
    signal with a RF modulator.  The two male RCA jack cable (called
    a Dubbing cable) runs from the video and audio at the back of the
    Amiga.  All video switches use coaxial 75 Ohm inputs.  I guess I'll
    pull a computer game switch apart and find out what components
    convert a dubbing cable to coaxial and back.  Then I can use an
    off the shelf A/B video switch.
