One of my customers decided a few years ago that they would purchase some LCD tvs for their neighborhood bar. They knew someone, who knew someone, who was in the right place and got one heck of a deal on four units.
Sharp LC37G4U The one with the external AVC box.
Well they installed them on the wall, with the box sitting on an ugly shelf right next the to screen.
They are now looking to clean up the install and have asked for my help. I would like to relocate the boxes to a remote area, or at least a hidden area. My first thought is to move the AVC boxes to the equipment rack, approximate 75ft from each display. I've looked at the user manual (http://sharpusa.com/files/tel_man_LC32_37G4U.pdf) a few times, but I have not been able to find out if their is a longer system cable, or if I can substitute the cable for something else.
From what I can gather, the system cable looks like it is made up of an S-video, DVI & HDMI cable.
I would MAKE A GUESS that...
- Composite & s-video signals come down the S-video line.
- Component and DVI signals come down the DVI line
In this install, the only input to the AVC will be component video & audio from a cable box or matrix switcher. Using my educated guess, I should be able to run a DVI cable from the AVC box to the screen.
Any thoughts?
Upgrading / replacing the screens are not an option.
