Switching composite video??? .... this is not rocket science and not a
technical big deal because they are "passive devices" without any
electronic
signal processing..
Go to Radio Shack, Wal-Mart, K-Mart, etc. They all have A/V switches for
sale.

Hello
Want to purchase a 3 or 4 port composite video switching device, not a
big
ticket thing but they must make some that are better than others , manual
would be fine , looked at GE , RCA , and a few odd brands , need to steer

TV
in different directions for DVD , VCR , TIVO etc. , any info. would be
appreciated.
Thanks
Phil



Or, you can buy -- or make your own -- not-so-passive version. I've seen
IC-switched, IR-remote models as well. They are, naturally, a bit more
costly, but they do eliminate the potential of dirty mechanical switch
contacts, which, believe me, are hugely aggravating in these devices,
especially when you're pressed for time and can't be bothered to open it up
and spray 'em clean.
