Best Video Switcher

[Phil]

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

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.

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.

Check eBay for "3M" and/or "Bridging Video Switcher". 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.
