    List is full, first I need to sort out current orders.
    Keep monitoring this topic, once I will deal with the list I will accept more orders.

    Hi Dude,
    Wondering how could I get one or yours Scart splitters.
    And if you accept a briefing for a custom project I would love to have one done for my own requirements.
    Obviously I would be happy to cover for all costs.

    Hi all,

    Long time lurker first time poster.

    I was lucky enough to pre order gscartsw euro scart model and i have a question.

    The VGA out on the gswartsw option, should i buy the version that has 5 BNC outs( R,G,B, Hs, Vs) or 4 BNC outs (R,G,B, Sync)?? My PVM has R,G,B, Sync.

    Second question - I have a PC CRT monitor that is 21 inches 4:3 and on the back it has VGA connection and 5 BNC inputs R,G,B, Hs, Vs. Will this scart adapter output to a VGA monitor and or to the 5 BNC connections?

    You can use either 4BNC cable for your PVM or 5BNC one for your VGA monitor. There is ON/OFF switch which allows you to chose composite sync or hv sync.

    @superg - I just want to say THANK YOU for making these. I just got mine yesterday, and it looks beautiful and has made my setup so so so much more convenient! All 8 systems connected... no more swapping cables, and it all looks perfect! It's simply amazing.

    I do have a question though - most of the time when I turn off a system connected to the gscartsw, I get a strange popping/feedback noise from my speakers for about a second. Is that normal, or should I be concerned?

    This is perfectly fine, there is lowpass filter which has capacitors, that's why you hear some random sound while they discharge.

    What is the purpose of low-pass filtering on the audio?

    Thanks.

    Filters out what you really don't want to hear (audio humming etc.).

    Is said noise typically induced in the SCART cable itself, or can it occur with cables which use well-shielded, separate RCA wires (as opposed a multicore cable)? If said noise isn't induced in the connector or the switch itself, I was thinking it might be advisable to remove the low-pass filter so as to retain the full audio band, unless you would consider a separate high-quality RCA switch more ideal for this purpose. That would, admittedly, allow me to retain the low-pass filter for the consoles that use conductors in the multicore cable for audio.

    Noise is introduced everywhere, from console to switch and from switch to TV. It can be removed but so far everybody loves it.
