StarTech SVID410IR 4-to-1 Composite/S-Video and RCA Audio Switch Reviews
The enclosed remote also works excellent. My aim was to view the computer movies on my TV & be able to switch back & forth with my existing devices DVD player etc. A+++++ I found this product very simple to install & it suits my needs perfectly.
I recommend this seller. The buying operation was painless, no complications. This item works as advertised.
I returned the unit for replacement and had the same problem with the new one. Obviously there is a design problem, so I would not recommend this switch. I had to unplug the unit, then plug it back in, to make it work again.for another day. I used this video switch for a day before it just didn't respond to the remote control anymore.
I didn't return this as I have a feeling I will need this in the near future with my Home Entertainment Center being mentally assembled [grin] The product is solid and well built and shipping was very fast. Long story short. I received Startech Switch and I assumed (never assume) that it had a coax out, which is what I needed it for.
2. LED's (& possibly INput switching) powered via supplied 9 V DC Power AC Supply. 2) REMOTE: Same with the switch box, solid & functional.
Pressing the front panel button has a tactile click for each INput change. SUBJECTIVE REVIEW:. OPERATION:.
1. (See Note 2 below). FINAL THOUGHTS:. MANUAL PROCESS - pre A/V Switch Box:.
b) Switching between any INputs is silent and responsive - works as designed. The StarTech SVID410IR 4-to-1 RCA Composite/S-Video A/V Switch Box works as designed and advertised. Due to the light weight of the switch box, the box can move when you press the front panel button. I'm happy to see that adding the A/V Switch Box did not degrade the digitized recorded PQ (picture quality) from my External Hard Drive after comparing a few of my recordings with vs. ===============================.
a) 2 AAA batteries required but not included. After some internet / Amazon research, I purchased the StarTech SVID410IR 4-to-1 RCA Composite/S-Video A/V Switch Box to use as a centralized interface solution between my various S-Video recording / playback devices connected to my Neuros OSD Unit w/External Iomega 500GB Hard Drive. A/V SWITCH Box BUILT QUALITY:. 1. . 1) SWITCH BOX: Logical, simple, functional & solid design.
c) INput #1 - #4 each have a little round LED Light above indicating which one is selected. The A/V Switch Box does not mix Composite Video (Yellow) and S-Video signals. a) Front panel layout is clean and clear. All recording / playback devices have an S-Video OUTput, which is the better choice (picture quality) vs. Recording (digitizing**) old Family Video's (VHS & Super-Hi8mm) & misc DVDs via **Neuros OSD Unit > External Iomega 500GB Hard Drive. If you require a Audio / Video Switch box, I can easily recommend the StarTech SVID410IR 4-to-1 RCA Composite/S-Video A/V Switch Box w/Remote for its solid & functionally simple design. b) Back panel layout is well spaced, clearly labeled and connectivity is very solid.
SPRING/SUMMER ARCHIVING PROJECT:. 1. 2. NOTES:. Having S-Video was a priority since it provided the best picture quality thru the Neuros OSD unit. Design is simple as it should be.
(See Note 1 below). a) If you connect one video device using Composite Video (Yellow) & another S-Video signal. Very good to excellent. RESEARCH:. 1. (see pic's I submitted into Amazon's gallery above). FOUR: INputs each w/Composite (R, W & Y) RCA plugs & S-Video.
1) You must connect both Composite Video (Y) & S-Video OUTputs plugs to your monitor / TV. the Composite Video (Yellow) RCA plug. without the A/V Switch Box. ===============================. Plugging-in & out the S-Video & Audio RCA cables between the various recording / playback devices to my Neuros OSD Unit became old very quickly. d) INputs can be selected from the front panel right side silver grey button or supplied remote. Switching between my various S-Video recording / playback devices is now seamless, especially with the use of the Remote - unique @ $25 price point and provides an added value to the A/V Switch Box. 1.
ONE: OUTput w/Composite (R, W & Y) RCA plugs & S-Video. Having a Remote adds the value to this A/V Switch Box.
