RE: {Definitely Spam?} Sharing a CCTV feed - is it possible

["Pete Church" <yahoo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Keith,

Thanks for the answer =96 sounds straightforward, but, sorry for being a
dunce:

a)       where can you get a modulator for less than =A310 =96
Henrys/Mapli=
n etc
all seem >=A325

b)       camera plugs directly into the capture board with no termination
resistor in line to remove. Does this mean I=92m doing something wrong
already?!

Cheers

Buy a UHF modulator for less than =A310 and DONT fit a 75ohm termination
resistor on the video input. That way you can connect the modulator and
capture card directly to the camera.
