Hello all,
New member, first post. I thought I'd keep it relatively simple
For those of you with multiple S-VHS machines, and other devices like TBCs and so on, how do you handle management of the devices and cables?
For example, I have three S-VHS decks and am getting one more. I have a 32" HDTV and a small monitor that I use. I have an AVT-8710 and a StarTech capture gimmick for USB3.
When I start a new VHS tape project, I start with the deck that gives the best visual quality. If that has an issue, I unplug everything, and plug it back into the next deck in line. And so on.
Since most decks only have one set of outputs, plugging and unplugging over and over is getting to be a real pain! I have limited working space, and having to twist everything around to get to the back of each device, and the TV, is getting old fast.
Can I use an AV switch of some kind, or does that just add more noise|complexity|problems?
With that out of the way, let me say I love this site. The depth of information and the lack of clutter is truly amazing.
