Output MPEG, AVI, MOV, etc. Movies to Multiple TVs

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 
I handle IT for a doctor's office and want to replace the current internal TV system that sends composite output from a DVD player to a Vanco RF Modulator, then outputs via F type Coaxial to to a Leviton Signal amplifier, then to a 6 way signal splitter and then FINALLY to 6 HDTV's via F type Coaxial.

*whew*

It "works" fine, but it's a birds nest of cables and requires manual changing of discs in the DVD player to change the content visible on the TVs.

I would like to digitize all of our "waiting room loops" which are basically ads for products/services at the practive - to a standard movie format on a HDD.

Then output that directly to the signal amplifier.

I've researched and can't find a solution that doesn't require a RF modulator to change the cables used from composite to F type coaxial.

Is there a graphics card or network media player that can output directly to F Type?

The closest i've come is the (end of life) Netgear EVA9150 Network Media Player, but it doesn't output via F Type...

Can anyone offer a better way?

nothing does f connectors and composite is going away too. SOL IMO

why not just author the loops onto a single DVD. do you really have more than 4 hours of content you loop?

it's not the total hours that's the problem, it's the constantly changing content.

i.e., promote THIS, THIS and THAT this month, but next month it's THAT THIS THOSE, etc., and new stuff is added all of the time.

We need to be able to do "playlists" like music, but for video.

And my lingo may not be correct. I'm referring to the "common" output from a wall that I know/knew as Coax/RG6. The connector is "F" type?.

I thought this is used everywhere... every office or home i've been in and DVR cable box i've seen has these connections...

THat was 10+ years ago before the advent of HDTV's.....

your problem is that media centers today dont output composite baseband, never mind broadband via f-connector.

Does you have DVD player have a F output? thats extremely rare in itself.

media streamers have generally have component, vga, hdmi outputs.

I know the old pCH A-110 has a composite output. you can pick one up on ebay or build a PC with a video card with a composite output.
