How?Actually, what jargon should I use to search for circuits to build.The background is that I do work for a community group that re-uses old computers and we currently have premises in an arts centre. Our "rent" is basically technical knowledge and assistance to support vqarious "artistic" projects.This one comes out a project that will be a wall of computer monitors (db15 plug driven) all showing the same image, so my understanding says that we are going to need an amplifier and splitters or splitter-amplifier, preferrably with the least number of stages.Hence, my question for assistance in what jargon I should plug into search engines.This is basically for the mathematics of costing the construction of the video splitters, etc.TIA.

The proper term is "Video Distribution Amplifier" There are plentyof commercial units, as well as chips designed for this application. The biggest problem will be cable lengths causing roll off of higherfrequencies. National. maxim and others make suitable chips for theproject.-- Link to my "Computers for disabled Veterans" project website deletedafter threats were telephoned to my church.Michael A.

In fact, large numbers of switching power supplies on a three phase system require a larger neutral than the same system with a purely resistive load. This is due to all the harmonics generated by the power supplies that have no power factor correction. A number of fires in offices and factories occurred when large numbers of switching supplies were installed, starting about 20 to 25 years ago.

I had a neutral fire in the breaker box for a CATV headend in 1985 due to all the harmonics caused by the newer equipment we were installing.

Yes, I know - you have no idea how difficult it is to design something which drives 1,000 computer monitors :)

Something wireless could solve a lot of problems. It might create a lot too but maybe something to consider.
