AI Thread Summary
To connect a PC to approximately 25 TVs using an analog cable system, a device is needed to convert the digital signal from the PC into multiple analog signals suitable for TV antenna input. Options include using a WiDi HD setup for wireless transmission or employing HDMI or component splitters if distances are short. For converting the digital signal to NTSC analog, devices exist that can inject the signal into a cable TV system on a specified channel, potentially using an old VCR. In Europe, a modulator was purchased to convert the PC signal to TV, but issues arose with Windows XP not recognizing the device. To resolve this, software that enables signal transmission through the 7-pin S-video connector from the graphics adapter is required. Many video cards with S-video outputs allow for dual monitor setup, and installing the appropriate drivers and control software may solve the recognition issue.

Does anyone have an idea what device to use to connect a PC with about 25 TV-s? The problem is that the whole building connection is based on a analog (COX) cable and i need a device that transfers a Digital signal from a PC to a several analog signals that goes thro the cable into the TV-s antenna, so i can't use the S-video nor HDMI.

What kind of digital signal does the PC output? If you can convert it to an NTSC analog video signal, there are devices that are designed to inject such a signal into a cable TV system on a specified channel. For the injection step, you might be able to use an old VCR, if it's OK to put the signal on channel 3 or 4.

(I'm assuming you're in the USA. I don't know what cable TV standards are like elsewhere.)
 
Nop I am in Europe, well i got my connection problem cleared. I bought a modulator that converts the signal from PC to TV but i can't get the picture from my desktop to the TC coz the WinXP dosn't recognice the device. So i need a software that sends a signal thro 7pin S-video from my graphic adapter to the modulator, any ideas ?
 
Most video cards with a svideo connector will let you setup dual monitor or treat the svideo connnector as the primary video output. I know of a few ATI video cards that support this, you just need to download and install the driver and the catalyst control center for the card.
 
Ok I'l try that one
 
In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...
Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'
I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
