P3D Re: Driving Multiple Pairs of LCS Goggles for 3-D Video byArthur Fischer

I am currently using a Toshiba control box, which has only 3 output jacks, to 
drive my LCS goggles for viewing 3-D Video. I Have 10 pairs of goggles and 
would like to use all of them to accommodate a viewing audience larger than 
just 3 people. 

I bought three audio stereo Y connectors to split each output jack into 2, 
thus getting 6 outputs. When I attempted to connect the goggles to them, all 
went well up to four pairs of goggles, but the output signal apparently was 
not strong enough to drive more than 4 pairs and subsequently none of the 
goggles worked.

Does anyone know of an amplifier that could be placed on the OUTPUT side of 
the driver box to allow me to use more pairs of goggles. Or, would a video 
amplifier placed on the INPUT side of the driver box work and not create a 
signal so strong that it might hurt the electronics of driver box?

A possible solution would be to get additional driver boxes and split the 
VIDEO OUTPUT SIGNAL from the VCR and send the split signal to the INPUT side 
of the driver boxes.  The question then remains: Will the strength of the of 
the split signal be sufficient to drive multiple boxes.

Any comments on the solution to this problem will be deeply appreciated.

Thank you.
