A1 video output

[dantewaters]

I would like to connect an A1 to this live switcher, but what cables should I use (As far as video)?

I usually use RCA, but then again the A1's RCA cord is rather short so I would need some kind of extender.

Use this to extend the cable

Ok thanks I actually am using that now to go from rca to rca, as long as it doesn't distort the signal I am good.

I don't see why you'd use RCA - the XH A1 has a perfectly good BNC output. Flip the switch on the back to V2, and let 'er rip. It's a locking connector, and you won't need any adapters - just use a long BNC to BNC cable.

Thanks will take a look for it next time...

Well, first off, that's not an HD switcher, so you won't be getting HD quality.

RCA runs don't tend to go very far before you start losing a lot of signal strength and quality. Use either S-Video or BNC, as was suggested above.
