connecting a video camera to directv box

[kojack]

Hello all. A little help is needed.

I plan on hooking up a video camera to a total of 4 tv's in a bar. The owner wants the ability to show a live feed of the dance floor through the video camera over his tv's throughout. Can this be done by simply just connecting the yellow video connector to the video input on the back of the directv box? No sound is needed, just a picture. I believe all tv's are tied to one directv box.

Thanks in advance.

Far as I know all video connections are video out's.

Yes, my mistake. Meant to say out.

Now looking at it, I figure I may just have to run some sort of A/B switch to handle this. BTW the directv box is quite ancient. Probably at least 10 years and one of the originals.

What model D* receiver are you using? Memory says there were at least 1 Samsung model that had video inputs and I think there may have also been a Magnavox. You definitely can't use outputs as inputs.

What are the capabilities on the 4 TVs PIP or multiple video inputs you could connect camera to?
