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. -- Best Regards, Daniel Sofie Electronics Supply & Repair - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - "Phil" wrote in message ...

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. |

There's none right now but these 10 x 1 video/mono-audio switchers are fairly common there. "Workhorse" switcher from yesteryear. I've got a small four input switcher that I got from Wal-mart that does a good job. Active with s-video as well as rca inputs and the fourth input is on the front of the box. And it's all stereo of course. Cost about 17.95 + tax. Recoton I believe. My only regret is it's a manual. Would love to have one with a remote control. |
