Re: Multicast video stream to EIA analog channel

Dave, thanks for the advice. I thought about using VLC but could figure out how to modulate it to the proper EIA channel. I figured someone would've made a PCI-E card that has a RF interface w/ upconverter built-in. The only one I found was from DEKTEC and they only modulate to digital signals not analog. I'll start playing with that today!

Thanks again.

Matt,

Computers (Linux or otherwise) don't have RF modulators.  I do not
know of a single-channel IP-in analog modulator (I looked at Blonder
Tongue, Drake and Pico Digital).

It is possible to cobble together a Linux system running VideoLAN
<http://videolan.org>  player, and get analog audio and video out of
the computer, and pipe that into an analog modulator.
