Does Length of the Cord Diminish that Quality?

Calvino · 10-17-2006, 06:27 PM

OK heres my deal this time.

I split my XBOX Signal like THG does with three basic audio splitters 1 female to 2 females.

HOWEVER! My computer is across the room from my tv/xbox so I use 6 foot composite (red, white, and yellow) cables to plug back into my TV and over to my Cap card...

does the fact that thye're each 6 ft long diminish the quality? BY diminish the quality I mean how come there are black and white faded lines slowly going up my tv/ati tv ?? Also, i have a really bad echo.

Is this the wiring setup?

PLz help <3

i have 3 inch splitters and i turn off the volume on the comp when i record and i have a dazzle 90 so my quality isnt ever really good.

length of cord matters for analog signals, since they degrade proportionally with distance, but it shouldn't really matter that much. you have splitters for video and audio? the problem that i would GUESS, is because the signal is being split, but it isn't getting amplified again. when you split a signal, you will guaranteed lose quality, unless your able to pump up the signal again. since xbox doesn't output digital signals anyways, its a moot point.

i own a dazzle 150, so i dont really have any problems with this. radio shack sells boxes that simulataneously split and amplify/reenhance the signal, but it costs about 40-50 bucks. i figured it wasn't worth the money, so i just got a dazzle 150 instead. really unworth it considering i built something similar to what radio shack was selling in an ece lab...
