I would like to know how to hook up two monitors (with no VGA inputs) like the 3X5" Xenarc monitors to an in car PC. Is there a video hub of some sort available?

Thanks,

you can buy AV cable splitters.

obviously youd need AV outs on your video card to play to a AV monitor, but you can just split it, youd find it in your TV section of bestbuy or whatever, not with the computers.

if you split it, wouldn't each signal be at 50% magnitude? Is that still high enough signal to drive two monitors? What if I wanted to split to 4 or 8 (just out of curiousity) do they make active splitters that would split and amplify as well?

If your pc don't have S-Video out or just VGA, you'll need a VGA-Svideo (or RCA) converter. Depending on distance, you'll need a video booster. 4 monitors or more you'll need it.

Video booster

The converter will run you about 50 bux. You'll have to tap into the car's battery to power the booster.

thanks for the help everyone, this clears things up.
