Name of Product: Cables to go – 40473 – Component Video Switch Matrix Selector
Features:
- Four component video inputs, four stereo audio inputs and four coaxial digital audio inputs can be used
- Audio follows the video to either of the two output s
- A smart programmable remote control
Pros:
- Able to connect four source devices to each TV/monitor or one source to both TV or monitors
- Easy to control picture through the switch
- The remote is great; able to program macros that are rather complex very easily into your a universal remote control
- Maintains resolutions
Cons:
- Difficult to find negatives about this unit. Not the cheapest on the market I guess. But for what you get, I you can’t really complain.
Review:
Working with multiple sources of input to more than one output can be a hard task sometimes; however component video switches are great options to help with controlling different inputs to different outputs. The 40473 component matrix video audio switcher is a great option for anyone that may be doing video, image or sound editing on a smaller scale. It is possible to control up to 4 different sources to two different outputs. This is something that’s great for when you want to minimize switching of cables and increasing productivity.
A feature that really stands out about this component video switch is the ability to control four different input sources and route them in different fashions. This ability cannot be understated when it comes to a switch used in a small home or a small video editing production environment. The ability to control the picture and the sound through the switch from the inputs is a critical element for a component video switch and really made this one stand out. The IR remote control is excellent and you are able to program macros that are complex very easily. These macros I’ve found to be useful if I quickly want to switch different inputs and outputs. The resolutions are maintained along with the audio and video beautifully with this component video switch.
The only negative thing I can really say about this device is the fact it’s a little bit pricey for how few inputs and outputs you’re getting. There are other devices that have more inputs and outputs for around the same price; however I suppose you would have to give up some of the quality you get with this component video switch in order to bring the price down.
This is an all around great option for anyone who is a little bit experienced with the world of component video switches. Give it a shot if you want greater control of your inputs and outputs of source devices or need to perform some sort of video editing.
