Thank you. Sorry I did not mean to call you a computer person…

OK! Now I have the APC UPS to protect my equipment and data, I also have a SignVideo proc amp en route.

“Don't use a distribution amp, no, degrades signal.”

This poses a bit of a problem. I only have one s-video input on my capture card and I capture way more from the TV box than from the VCR. I do not like plug and unplug the s-video cable because I’m afraid of damaging the connections on the Cap Card/VCR/TV BOX.

Can I use an s-video splitter, or a break out block? Or do I need a separate capture card?

How does the work flow go? VCR>TBC>Proc Amp> Capture Card?

Should I wait till a used Datavideo TBC-1000 comes around, and use it for distribution?
