Re: rf modulator, what about transmitter?

["BruceR" <br@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

None of those units will do what the OP requested which is to BROADCAST
the signal. The modulators listed will all do a fine job over a
hardwired connection but do not send the signal via wirelesss.  The unit
I referred to on ebay is indeed a transmitter as requested.

You should be able to find them locally in most cities.
Look at Radio Shack, Best Buy, or other stores that carry AV equipment.

www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2103095
$30 ready made, outputs on channel 3.

$3 would need some hacking to change plug and add power.

$20 - looks like it might have a DC power input

10 feet should be nothing for this type of device and the image quality
is probably better than the camera (assuming a low cost camera instead
of a camcorder quality one).

A big question is power source.  Ones designed for home use will
typically be 120VAC.  FM modulators for cars (run on 12 VDC) are very
common but the Car AV people assume that people will have video displays
with direct video input.

You can probably convert any of the 120 volt units to DC by going inside
and finding the AC to DC conversion in it.
The game converter will be running on DC from the game console that is
in the plug with the video.  You would need to discover the voltage and
wire connections.

If you can find a home oriented unit with a wall transformer, you have
an easier job since it is probably marked for voltage needed and the
connection is obvious.
