Cable TeeVee on cctv monitors...

Recommended Posts

4 cctv monitors have just come into my possesion, along with a Everfocus EDSR1600. I'll be using all this to record footage in my Halloween haunt. Meanwhile, I'd like to use the monitors to watch TeeVee. 3 Tatungs and a Checkpoint monitor all with BNC av1 and av2 inputs. I used a BNC to coax adapter to input signal from the cable box (I have Comcast digital cable in No. California-Chico). I get "No Signal".

 

The big Tatung also has the switch for av or 75 ohm, I tried both ways but nothing.

 

What do I need between the cable box and the monitor to recieve tv pictures?

 

Please and thank you.

Nothing, if you attach the composite out from the cable box to the video or composite in on the monitor. You can also use the S-Video if both the cable box and the monitor have them.

 

What do you mean by "bnc to coax adapter"? If you mean bnc-to-f, that won't work. You need to use the video signal, not the RF. Use a bnc-to-RCA cable or connector from the composite video (yellow) out of the cable box to an input on the monitor.
