ILoveC4 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 I use a switch I got brand new online for $425 +shipping. I was reluctant because I had never heard of them, but it has been great.It is made by shinybow. It is rack mountable and has IR and RS232 controls.It has 6 inputs and 4 outputs. It does component video and stereo audio. I will be adding a switch that support digital audio when the basement gets done, plus this switch is all maxed out. It is the SB-5564. It has been great.

ILoveC4 Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 Oh yeah, the driver was already there and it integrated seamlessly. If I recall the driver was for an 8x8 switch, but it works fine. Just don't utilize the "phantom" inputs and outputs ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav-Jason Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 So far Key Digi... looking at others though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecodeman Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Key Digital? Did they give you any "special favors" after forking over the cash? (in my experiences they have been pricey for the amount of features) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav-Jason Posted February 8, 2009 Share Posted February 8, 2009 Yeah I know, but remember, I'm just the lowly Tech of a Dealer. Although if I go to the owner and say "HEY! I need THIS"... I will get it. But otherwise he seems to have an attachment to all the brands that he's used to. I specifically can NOT get him away from his speaker line even though there is much better quality at the same price points.Anyway that's why I said been looking at others. I do get commissions, so the better profit margins are attractive to me as well. I'll be needing one 8x for my next project, and NeoPro Concord would fit perfect.

lippavisual Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Jason,Definitely take a look at NeoPro. Key Digi has been ripping your owner off for years!! They are way too expensive for the features and if I recall, the last time I used one, it went bad with no explanation as to why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl_B Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 I am looking for a switch that will do 8 inputs and go to 16 outputs. I do not want to use cat5 since I am using existing cables. I need to mix digital audio with analog. Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdobeCinema Posted May 3, 2009 Share Posted May 3, 2009 One of these:http://www.neoprointegrator.com/fallbrook.phpTied with one of these:http://www.neoprointegrator.com/gillespie.phpI've found some switches to be noisy (chassis ground issues).
