Senior Topic Update

Today I added a fifth video monitor to a Dodge Challenger it was my first time installing a video monitor on my own and I had a few difficulties. When you have so many monitors, you need a video amplifier, it allows for more screens to reproduce the same image in sync. When i finally got it all together, all the monitors displayed distorted images and often had white noise. I fixed this by remembering something one of my mentors once told me. Instead of having the same ground like in audio, video requires at least two separate ground terminals, and in this case because all monitors had the same ground it was causing distortion in the imaging. Once I added two more ground terminals, the problem was solved.
