Video Splitter

[silentdub]

I have two lcd panels in the back, then I use a video splitter and connect one source to both units, I get some interference and lines on both monitors.

If I only plug one it, then it is picture perfect.

I have tried both a DVD player and PS/2. It seems as though I need to split the signal better to isolate each monitor.

I have using a simple Y adapter for the video.

Any ideas what I can use?

I'm assuming that the signal is losing power, thus causing the interference. Try to find an adapter with a signal booster or something similar.

you need a video amplifier.

What connection are you using? You might be able to also loop out of one of the LCD's if it has the option. A vga amplifier should be able to give you a clean signal up to 100ft, 5-wire should be able to run much further with an amplifier. If you're already using a 5-wire or vga amp you'll need a humbucker to get rid of the interference that's causing the lines to appear.

Thanks guys, I'll pick one up.

The cable isn't that long, but I'll give it a shot.
