   I have a setup where i got my camera and i send signal via s-video to DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIER then out to several televisions and a projector 50 to 100 feet away. I was told that using a "BOOSTER" or a "RECIEVER" or even a "DVD player" BEFORE or AFTER the DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIER will increase the quality of the signal. Is this true? I tried a little "booster" that plugs into an outlet with the projector and I did not see the quality go up� any help would be appreciated.

   The distribution "amplifier" basically IS a booster.  To place a booster before the amplifier would mean you are "amplifying" the signal before you "amplify" the signal.  This is unnecessary.  As far as a receiver after the DA, I guess you would consider your TVs and/or projectors to be the "receivers" since they are "receiving" the signal the DA is sending them.  A DVD player would not come in to play on the receive side of this set-up.  The DVD could be used in this system to provide a signal INSTEAD of the camera, if you needed to play back something.  You could use an A/B switch to switch between the camera and DVD if needed.

   Hope that helps.

   Best,

    For runs of more than 100 feet, there are in-line signal boosters you can obtain to keep the signal up and hopefully reduce signal loss/interferance. I feed up to 100 feet of S-video signal into a DA, then up to another 100 feet into the receivers - projector, screens, recorders, etc.

   Beyond that, I would be likely to use in-line signal boosters/amplifiers between the DA and receivers. MarkerTek, B&H Photo Video and many others sell these items.
