Separate DAs on all router outputs.
For NTSC transmission, i've built several transmitters over the years, but lately i've been so happy with this Greek 100mW quasi-broadcast unit, that i've standardized on this model:

What amazes ME, is the amount of data, parts, knowledge and goodwill available on US early color. Early Euro color is very shrouded in secrecy. To speak of France, finding info on Henri de France (inventor of SECAM) is extremely difficult, i have only ONE picture of a SECAM prototype using an RCA 21" round tube, schematics, history, development info is near zilch, very discouraging.

Many DVD players can be configured to play the DVD directly in NTSC mode (scan rate and color system). So you can avoid the jutter effects when converting PAL/SECAM to NTSC. Most program material on DVDs are film done at 24fps, so the DVD would just change the 2/3 pull-down rate to accomidate the different scan rate. (I'm assuming that the DVD was incoded at 24fps MPEG2 style).
back in the early days of NTSC color, RCA wanted everyone to start making color TVs and related equipment, and freely gave out the information. RCA would charge nominal patent licensing fees of course. But they would not make any money if they held the information back, as color TV would likely die if they did.
Looks like you need an American Football to European Football (what we call "Soccer") converter..
Or maybe you are converting Soccer to American Football?
