Review
Recently I decided to open a bar and was searching for a way to make my TV set up easy to use and controlled through one device and I came across this component video switch and decided to give it a go. The 8 input and 8 output matrix scheme was quite appealing to me as I could connect several different devices for multiple outputs and control it all with ease.
The installation of the device was surprisingly easy and required basically no technical knowledge. The instruction manual that comes with this component video switch was quite informative and explained things in an easy to understand manner.
There is absolutely no loss to video or sound quality from any device that can connect to the component video switch. I am using a cable receiver, computer, DVD player and VCR player as input sources currently and have experienced no loss in quality what so ever. I am very pleased with that.
If we decide to expand our bar we discovered this component video switch can be rack mounted and that is nice as we can stick with the same brand and have them set up in a nice tidy way. I could see having multiple component video switches that are of different brands causing some incompatibilities if used together.
The cost of this component video switch was rather hard to swallow; at roughly $1400 USD it is a tad on the high end I think. We decided to give a go though as we realize that you often have to pay more for high end quality equipment.
I would recommend this component video switch for anyone with large homes, bars, restaurants or any small establishment. This is a great option that is of extremely high quality both in design and in how it maintains video and audio quality for business needs. Though it is expensive we have found it works perfect for our needs.
