Cable hookupyou can string them in order wall to cable box ( if needed ) box to vcr ( for recording ) vcr to DVD and DVD to tv. Mine is hooked up wall to box, box to splitter, splitter to tv ( I have dual tuners for pip ) then coaxial out plugs on DVD to coaxial in on tv ( I don't use a vcr any more but if I did it would be after the splitter and before the tv.) There is no need to send cable to the DVD unless it is a recorder also or if you don't have auxiliary inputs on the tv.

Why are there Two different outputs on a 3-way signal splitter?

Yes, on a RF splitter there are 2 outputs and 1 input, for certain applications, it can be used in reverse to combine 2 inputs into 1 output!

Does a vga y splitter cable effect the video quality?

Video signals cannot be split in the same way that other signals such as audio signals can be split. The nature of the signal means that they demand an active splitter, normally called a distribution amplifier. The amplifier will generate two or more signals from the incoming signal, each with the correct voltage and impedance to drive a single input. A splitter that does not have a power supply is a passive one and they do not split the signal correctly. Always make sure you get an active unit (It will always have a power supply). The quality of the image depends on the quality of the amplifier. Cheap distribution amplifiers are never as good as the best quality units. While you normally don't need to spend hundreds, it is worth avoiding the cheapest ones. However, a bigger problem with many VGA signals is the cable used. Longer runs of VGA signals should be run on cable that has co-ax cables within the multi-core cable. It can be difficult to identify the cables but as a rule, thicker VGA cables will use co-ax cable inside. The thinner ones won't and they should be avoided for long cable runs. A good quality co-ax type cable will support a cable length of 100 feet or more. The cheap cables will show signs of signal degradation at as little as 10 - 15 feet.


Can a PC receive a signal through the s video connection?

Does your PC have a S-Connector INPUT? This cable only carries VIDEO.


Can you split a component video signal?

Yes. But you will lose signal quality (decreased brightness and increased interference) without an amplifier.

Do you lose signal strength with a four way splitter for antenna signal?

Yes, using a four-way splitter for an antenna signal will result in a reduction of signal strength. Each output on the splitter will receive a weaker signal compared to the original input signal. However, the amount of signal loss will depend on the quality of the splitter and the length of the coaxial cables connecting to the outputs.

Why would someone need to use an audio splitter?

An audio splitter is a handy device, especially in this day and age with the popularity of iPods and MP3 players. The audio splitter is used to split the audio signal in 2 or more paths. A person wanting to share their iPod or MP3 player would use an audio splitter.


What is the purpose of a component video splitter?

A component video splitter allows a signal to be transmitted from one device to others. One can connect their cable and with the use of a splitter allow it to be transmitted to a different device.


Why would one need an HDMI splitter?

An HDMI Splitter is used to send video signals to many different devices that one may have and need to send a video signal to. If one has a computer and a television they ham use a HDMI Splitter so that they can get a video signal on the television as well as on the computer.


Will cable company know I'm using a splitter?

No, but keep in mind that every time you split the signal you loose one half of the signal strength. It would be best to use a powered splitter so you don't have this loss.


Can you use a splitter back of your tv so you can put another cable in from another normal tv?

Yes, if you are low on signal strength, use a powered splitter. The passive splitter cuts the sig. strength in half.


How does a monitor splitter cable work?

A computer monitor splitter cable is used to send video signal from one monitor to a second monitor. This may be helpful when making presentations to meetings or for demonstrations in classrooms.


How many coaxial splitters can you use?

It depends on your signal level and the signal necessary for your equipment. Each splitter reduces the available signal level to items that are downstream.

Does the TVs signal get worst the more times you split the cable?

you will lose 3dB of signal level per each split on a passive splitter.


Why is my reception poor using splitter?

A splitter does exactly what it suggests - it splits the signal and also splits the energy available to each receiver. As each receiver sees only half the signal, they will also see more noise on the line as the receiver boosts the signal level. More noise means more disturbance to the picture. You may benefit by using an active splitter (one that uses a power supply) but these also have a tendency to increase the noise level as well. If the source is an ariel, you might do better to replace it with a larger or more directional model that will deliver a stronger signal to the splitter.
