[BC] TV question

[Tom Spencer]

Doesn't the DVD player have composite video out?

Mine do.  If so, and if you can find the specs to verify, then the 
output IS  NTSC, 1 V P-P composite video.  Mine are even specified at 75 
ohms termination.  Simple RCA to BNC adapter does the trick.  Doesn't 
get much less expensive than that!

You would want a frame-sync TBC after it - either before or after the 
switcher (after, and the switcher can be a bang-box...), just to insure 
the sync and burst meet spec... at least for long-term use.

I haven't actually looked at the output of mine in a while with a scope 
/ waveform monitor in a while, and don't recall just how close the black 
burst part of the waveform comes to meeting FCC / NTSC spec.

HTH!

This is for an analog LPTV that has to go on the air very quickly with something for programming. DVD video and audio in, NTSC out to the input of my exciter.
