Hullo all,I work for an electronics company and we are considering manufacturing a component video switch (with audio). I was given the task of researching the necessary features so, what do you guys think. Initially, we are looking at 4 component video, 4 stereo audio, 4 toslink inputs. The bandwidth of the video section would be around 60MHz to accomodate HD.
I'm wondering, should we add more than one set of A/V outputs so you could feed your TV and other devices at the same time or coaxial digital audio? What other features would you like to see?
Thanks for the input,
Randall

Sorry, didn't know the name was already taken.
I'll post as RandallM in the future.
I would be interested in such a switch BUT it would require 5 inputs and outputs to allow switching between this notebook and the Barco projector. Personally I would not be interested in audio switching as I already have that but can see some would. Problem is that by the time you have satisfied all of us the switch box would be overloaded with features that few people would fully utilise. It could end up being too expensive.Would a modular design be practical? Have a video only box that could link to an audio only box, so that they could operate in tandem (input 1 video switches input 1 audio etc) or operate separately.
Apart from the difficulties mentioned above the situation faced by most of us with complex set ups (and I'm afraid I qualify there) is we have so many mixes of audio and video. Video here is composite, s-video (the most common) and component. Tying them all together synchrously is an interesting intellectual challenge! I'm controlling it via a PRONTO remote with actual switching done by a Barco VSE 40 unit + audio and video switcher cards in a Meridian 861 processor. There is an unimpressive array of cabling attached to all of this! The only bit missing is a component switcher between projectot and computer but, as it is not vital, I would not pay too much for it.
Hope this helps.
