Looking for a good video selector with 6 inputs
Hi, I've been loking for a good video selector/switcher to plug my multiple units (vhs, s-vhs, vhs multi, turntable, laserdisc, audio cassettes player), but I couln't find a good one with at least 6 intputs and a power cord (to get a good signal).
Can somebody please help me with that ? Thanks to answer |
Moving this to Home Entertainment, since it's really not a capturing topic...
You do know that these degrade video quality, right? The more cables/components you add to a signal chain, the more likely degradation will occur. This makes power line filtering (via a good UPS) and quality cables even more important. I've never seen one that has 6 inputs -- only 4 inputs. There is this one: Cables To Go 40697 6x2 Component Video, Stereo Audio and TOSLINK Digital Audio Matrix Selector Switch (Black) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...SIN=B000S1CEQ4 It's a higher quality switch, given that it allows component. But it runs $125. or this: Cablestogo 40446 HDMI Selector Switch (6-Port) http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...SIN=B001DFTH0A Again, higher end, so $75 each. Generally speaking, you're more likely to find switch boxes like this one, for under $20: Sima SVS-14 4 Input Manual A/V Selector http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...SIN=B00005NCWK The brands generally associated with these kinds of devices include Terk, Sima, Cablestogo, RCA and Philips. What I do is fill up all available slots on the HDTV, as there are quite a few HDMI, component, composite and s-video available. You NEVER want to capture video through a switch, due to the aforementioned noise-adding nature of switches. You should always connected devices on by one. Anything not essential should be unplugged from the TV/computer, possibly from the electrical. Again, power line noise is easy to generate. |
Shame, but thanks, anyway
