preview monitor output
If you loop a camera output into a black & white preview monitor and then the output of the monitor to a switcher will the output from the monitor be in color or b/w?

If it’s a true “loop” it would logically be in color. The question becomes isn’t there some other way, ie.- a second output, so you can send a signal directly to the switcher and not risk adding any extra noise (if analog) or a weakened signal (if digital)?

Thanks Nick, it seemed logical to me as well but I wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing something. We have three sony walled mounted cameras going to a vaddio switcher which only shows one preview source at a time. the switcher has a b/c connection. because of cost I want to use a old quad b/w rack mount monitor, take the output of the cameras into the monitor then the out of the monitor to the switcher.

Your best advice on this question may come on the “Broadcasting” COW forum. That said, when quality is a concern I’d be cautious of adding anything to an analog chain.
