I teach Television Production at a local High School. The school has built a new media center and moved the video distribution to that location, about 300 yards from my studio.
Here is the problem: We have 3 seperate incoming signals and a manual 3 position AV switch to send for a single school wide distribution. The 3 choices are, regular cable, Video feed produced from the Media Center and video feed produced from my studio. We currently send a student to the media center to change the switch just before we broadcast morning news, but have run into problems when there is some special activity in the media center (such as a meeting of the county school board or VIP's viewing a special presentation in the center, or even one time the media center personel were out and the rooms were locked)
I would like to send some sort of remote signal down my studio cable (75 ohm coax) to an AV 3 position switch so that I can control the input to the main feed from my studio.
I don't mind buying one (but don't quite now what to order, I haven't been able to phrase my searches that produce any meaningful results), but I also teach the Computer Systems Technology class and those students would like to build one if it seems like that could be done.
The students and I are enjoying learning from this forum, Keep up the great work and thanks for taking the time to help others understand the world of electronics.
