Spectator Monitor with Dexter?

Post by aapljack »

On my previous setup, with the laserdisc player, I was able to have one of my outputs go to the spectator monitor I have on top of the game. Since Dexter only has one output, I thought I could get a BNC splitter to get the two outputs. I got one, but the image quality seems to degrade when running through the splitter. Is this normal or did I get a bad or incorrect splitter?

The one I got is this..

I tried splitting the signal first on the input of the monitor and second coming out of Dexter. Both gave me issues.

Anyone else have a spectator monitor set up with Dexter?

I think Tony M. Victorino (aka Lord Victorino in these forums) has managed to get a separate TV hooked up to Dexter and reports that Dexter does seem to have enough output strength to drive this separate display. I haven't experimented with it myself. I think he used an RCA splitter, not that I can see how that would make any difference.
