2 Component outputs from 1068? And Zone 2 help!!!

[Stevebez]

A few questions about adding a second display in the bedroom.

1 How long can I run component cables from the RSP-1068 output? (around 15metres is the max length I would need.)

2 Is it feasible to spit this component output somehow to get prog scan to this second display?

3 I seem to remember that s-video cannot carry prog scan feed ? Is this true?

4 Plan to use Zone 2 or REC outputs to feed spare channels on 1075 to run audio into bedroom.

5 Any further advice / suggestions ???!!!


Regards
Steve

A few questions about adding a second display in the bedroom.

15meters is fine. I've got a 1055 running a projector about 30 meters away just fine.

2 Is it feasible to spit this component output somehow to get prog scan to this second display?

You will need a component video splitter. Nice ones are about $150-$300 that have 5 outputs. I haven't priced nor seen one for just two outputs. You CANNOT use RCA y-splitters.

3 I seem to remember that s-video cannot carry prog scan feed ? Is this true?

Correct.

4 Plan to use Zone 2 or REC outputs to feed spare channels on 1075 to run audio into bedroom.

Use the zone 2 so you can get volume adjustment. Seperate speaker level volume controls won't do too well from a 1075 at full tilt.

Component video

Cool, Thank you Kevin. I posted a similar question over in the HT area about the component video. I have tried a few web searches and get nothing convincing about the splitting of component. Assuming the splitters are "powered" units and indeed amplify the signals? Can you recomend a good one? I would like to send all video to my HD monitor as well as the component "in" on my dvd recorder, and let the RSP-1068 do all the switching. Thanks again....
