[QLab] video cross fades - wha?

[Mike Benonis]

Looking at your plot, if you can't get ahold of an RGBHV snake to use  
for this, I would go with quality coax cable to run your video.   
While the resolution will be decreased from RGBHV, this is the best  
you can do with composite video.  S-video will not improve anything  
because the shielding in S-video cable is not nearly as good as in  
quality coaxial cable.  Heck, if you can get a spool of coaxial cable  
(500 or 1k ft), just make your own RGBHV snake and use that!

By quality coaxial cable, I mean quad-shield RG6 or better coax,  
terminated with quality RCA or BNC connectors (NOT the cheap crimp-on  
ones you get at the Rat Shack, but Thomas and Betts or similar  
compression terminations).

That help at all?
