Will this allow you to send the same signal to two different monitors at the same time? I have one that says you can but it doesn't. One monitor is always black with audio only. Also does your box have s-video in and out?

I have the same box and love it. It is basically an 8-in, 1-out switch. All eight ports have S-Video.

 

does it have remote control?

 

Bummer OH: I need a switch box that can output to two monitors at the same time. Why are these things so hard to find_?

Because nobody else wants them? :lol:

 

No they don't. It uses physical relays to move the signal around, you can hear them in the thing while you're using it. I don't think you can make it remote but if you're really that lazy I'd question your motives.

The unit is great though, truth be told I probably need to get another one.

 

Sorry, I saw these questions about the remote and couldn't resist. For your viewing pleasure: http://www.keohi.com/keohiHDTV/interfaces/switches/pelican/pelican_mod.html

Free bump for the switch, I highly recommend it if you have multiple consoles. The only downside is I wish they made one with more ports.

 

Some people have waaaaay too much free time...

 

Yakumo, you need not a switch box then. By definition, you need a splitter. It's a simple wire really, not even a box with logic in it. search ebay for VGA splitter

this is an example : http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Monitor-VGA-Y...6QQihZ018QQcategoryZ41999QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

much cheaper than a switch-box too =)

 

Yeah, thought about that but a splitter looses some signal power when going to the PC. Never mind though because i hacked a JVC switch box with a bit of wire, solder and transistor to boost the signal. now I have a very nice switch box splitter :thumbsup: Makes doing Retro Core far easier.

PS: Sorry for the thread jack, neomatrix. At least it gets bumped to the top again
