RE: Splitting Composite Video Source

[otm]

Hello Again,

So correct me if I'm wrong, I would need to remove the termination resistor the input of one of the Video devices (either the PC capture card or the Denon 1910).

As I wouldn't want to touch the Denon 1910, that leaves the capture card. I'm guessing find a 75 ohm resistor that is located as close to the composite input as possible (if it uses the 3 number smd code, it should be labeled as 750 correct?) and this should be the one, correct?

Unless I'm mistaken daisy-chaining the connections like this relies on the capture card in this instance having a high impedance input after the 75 ohm resistor correct?

I've yet to get the capture card, but will soon. If there is a problem locating the right resistor I might need some help...

If this is correct, sorry I didn't get it sooner, I didn't pick up on the implication of modifying one of the inputs...

Owen.

You have it all correct.

Crutschow,

I thought I would update you on how things went.

I got a PC capture card, and removed the SMD 75 ohm resistor (it was one of thoes mini smd types, a few millimeters only), and, after plugging a ground loop isolator into the sound inputs, its all amazing!!!!

Works a treat. Thank You so much.

Correct me if I'm worng, you could use this daisy chain set up on a large number of inputs as long as the only terminated input, it the last one in the chain.

You've been a great help,

Owen.

Glad it all worked out for you. It's always nice when advice actually leads to satisfactory results.

You have it correct about the daisy chain.
