Video Asylum

Posted by rsx160 on March 28, 2003 at 11:40:16

Hi there, just wondering if anyone can help me with this.
I've got a lot of devices with component video output and I will be getting a component video switchbox. There are 2 models I am considering. One is a JVC, the other is an Audioauthority.

My question is, is there a major difference between getting a switchbox with 30mhz badwidth and 100mhz bandwidth for component video?
I know the majority of A/V Receivers with component switching use 30mhz and are supposed to be compatible with 480p as well as 480i. Some of the more high-end receivers have 100mhz component video bandwidth. For my use, nothing will be putting out higher than 480p, so would I even need more than 30mhz? WOuld it be a little 'crisper' or more vibrant?

Thanks for any help!
