Thats a great idea...it never even crossed my mind! We already have a DVD/VCR combo in the studio for playing back stuff over the channel, so that would work perfectly!

Name: They do, but running RCA to each camera and back to the control room is almost 100 feet, which is like $200 dollars in cable.

And I know the splitters will degrade quality, and the combo amp/splitters are way out of our budget.


Seems our best bet is to run the extra RCA. I'll have to see how much money we have left (I think its around $3000...but we still need to make a set and buy some short cables and connectors and such)
