a quality component video switcher

[jongaro]

I need more component inputs then my pre-pro can handle so was looking at adding a external switcher. I need HD quality but not sure what quality ones are out there. Need minimum 3 inputs.

much appreciated.

I recommend the Impact Acoustice 3-Play. It can handle 3 component inputs as well as 3 stereo audio and 3 TOSlink. For the price you can't beat it!

The one I have is labeled under a different brand, but looks just like that one from Impact. I got it on ebay about a year and a half ago for ~$100, might be cheaper now. Works great for my 3 video game systems.

I own this one:

I have no problems with it, and notice no degradation, it can be had for less than $20. It is passive as well so no need to plug it in. I has 3 component inputs, 4 s-video inputs, 4 standard video inputs, 4 stereo audio inputs, and one set of Component, S-video, standard video, stereo audio ouputs. It does not scale or up convert to component, only switches stuff.
