DVD signal to two TVs simultaneously

Cubeguy3

Is it possible to use a Scart splitter to be able to use one DVD player and two televisions to have the same picture on both screens (at the same time)? If not, is there a different way I can do this?

Thanks

I'm not sure how scart splitters work (I know they can be used for 2 outputs > 1 input), but it is definitley possible.

How far apart are the TVs?

TVs are about four metres apart and each (LCD) TV has one scart lead.

The DVD player should also have S-video outputs - you could get one of these:

...and an s-video cable and 2 x phono cables and use them.

However, this is a messier way, and probably more expensive than a scart splitter, which may work. However, this way would definitely work.

Here you go, scrap that:

...get a 2-way scart splitter. That will definitely work - it has a switch so can be used both ways.

Thanks I'll give it a go!

Surely that will only allow you to choose one or the other for input to a single scart socket.
I suspect it will not combine both at the same time for use as a dual output from the single cable.

I tried one of those spilitters ( not from that seller) and picture was awful.

then I
I used a cheap poundshop scart one ( for youtr TV) / 3 phone plugs ( 1 vid ,2 audio) -
for your DVD ( mine gave signal out of both )

Oops- I was interpreting "2-way" as input-output switched - my bad

This one says "bi-directional" which I think is what I meant:
