Just a heads up. EB Games in .au are selling the Joytech AV Control Centre 2 for $AUD 130.

Its a 6 : 1 switcher.

6 Component/Svid/Composite in with 2 in being ethernet.

1 Component/Svid/Composite out.


The EU one has scart instead of component but same otherwise.



For u Take2 fans Joytech is owned by Take2

Looks neat, but bare in mind that A/V switches will almost always add a degree of interference to your picture, especially when you're pushing HD reses. If the switch isn't made of quality stuff, you will notice the difference. For just 480i stuff, switches like this are usually great, but ideally you want to go directly to the TV whenever possible.

No HDMI = no sale

Edit:

Shit, there is no component either. Just shitty composite and s-video.

Freakin worthless.

Is this the AV Control Center 2? *checks link* Oh yeah it is

I dunno about the second edition units but I had the AV Control Center 1 and it was absolute crap, Sure it had a remote but when ever an explosion or a loud bang happened on the screen during the game it would make my Amp cut out and the Speakers POP! The Image would tear etc. I was'nt the only one to have this problem and Joytech would'nt help me out either. I saw this in EB the other day and it does have some interesting new features but Im not going to gamble my Money again.

Make sure if you buy it you can take it back. Im stuck with my Peice of Crap box and I cant even flog it on Ebay.

FYI, HDMI switches are super expensive. Hopefully they will come down as the tech becomes more prevelent, as most TV's have 1-2 inputs and people will need to input Cable, DVD, and at least PS3.

Here a nice switcher (only 899 dollars :lol, there are cheaper ones, but you get the idea )

I have never had much understanding of how Component is such a big step foward from S-Video. How is it so different, just further seperation of Chrominescence and Luminesence?

It's not a huge difference, certainly nowhere near the leap from Composite to S-video. But component is all about HD

Until you get to 1080p. Then its HDMI territory.
