Heyas, still have this general question about making a video splitter for a set of arcade cabinets so that you can have the game played on the Cabinet Monitor as well as a TV at the same time. I've read a few topics about it, but they all talk about if that the wrong type of cables are used to split the outputs that it will cause ghosting on the cabinet monitor. Is this true? And can this be done easily?
I've sorta wanted to setup and arcade tournament with my Virtual On cabinets since I got them, but I want spectators to at least be able to watch without shoving and cramping all around the cockpits. Right now I have to rule out that the Virtual On boards don't have a live view monitor option, or relay mode....which is commonly used on some Model 2 Boards.
I don't know if an amp would be needed if lets say the cables to the TV were at least 8-10 feet long starting from the back of the cabinet? I already know I can buy some RGB/CGA converters that make it viewable on a typical computer monitor output VGA.
