Composite, hmmmm Options

[Jordanus]

Ok, in my room, i have gamecube, xbox, dvd player, and otehrs that require the use of my TVs one composite video input. My dvd composite cables are gettin loose and shit.
for my snes and nes and ps1 and n64 and sega, i have an RF switcher or whatever it is called. so basically it is a little black box with a cable out put and a button corresponding to this.
What i want is a simmilar thing, but for composite video cables.

Does any1 have one or know of one, cuz i really want one, i dont want my cables damaged.
thanx

cya

Check this page at radio shack out. You need an A/V Selector. There are quite a few here. Some pimp, Some not so pimp.

Some even less than Pimp!

Why don't you use a metal case with a 5 way single pole wafer rotary switch to build one. The graphics from the Snes etc are not as worthy as the Cube and the box so this simple and cheap manual method would be fine.

hows this one?

i think it looks shagadelic and is only 25 bucks or so.




WHAT THE FUCK, i just checked the canadian radioshack site and its double the price.

fack

thnx tho

peace

[Jordanus]

ok, i am not 2 sure

this one, is 35 bucks Canadian, has 4 outputs for a/v

this one, is 50 bucks CDN, and is the same, BUT IT SUPPORTS S-VIDEO

my tv does not support s-video, but teh switcher that supports s-vdeio converts the s-video to composite, -> WILL IT IMPROVE THE PICTURE? or have any other effects? or will it look teh exact same?

thanx

cuz this will be the purchasing point, if it will imporove teh quality, but converting my svideo to the composite on my tv, i iwll by the oen that suports s-video..

thanx

If you are still plugging into composite into your TV it will not make any difference.

S-Video splits up the colour and picture part of the signal, and then the selector box would just combine them back again. So no difference would be seen.

thank you very much

For all the older systems you have (genesis, nes, etc.), have the xbox emulate them. Not only is this a lot less messy (cables and everything), but a lot more convenient and the picture quality is better.

[Jordanus]

alright thanx

i put my NES/SNES on my tv in my spare bedroom, and put the genesis and n64 in my bros room, so now i only got xbox and gamecube and ps1. cuz im hopefully modding my xbox.
thanx
