An alternative embodiment is adapted to feed at least one computer monitor and at least one television monitors, with or without also receiving computer generated input and combining the computer generated input with television programming for display on television monitors and/or computer monitors. Such adapters are useful for supporting video walls and other applications where it is desired to leverage the lower cost of television monitors as compared to computer monitors.
