How do I connect 3 inputs (digibox,DVD,console) to 2 outputs (TV,projector)?

Question

Is there a 3to2 scart splitter that will allow me to connect the above without having to remove scart leads whenever I wish to switch between TV and projector? Will this cause picture/sound interference?

Answer 1

There are various splitter boxes out there on the Internet and possibly you could get one from your local audio-visual retailer. Here's a link that might help. It also has links to manuals and tutorials that may be helpful:

On the subject of interference, you may find that picture quality is affected if you are not using HDMI - high definition - when your digital signal is connected.

Answer 2

You need a matrix switch box with the right type of inputs/outputs (component or HDMI preferably). That way you can select among the inputs and choose whiche output device to send the input to.  While a 3x2 matrix switch would work see the link for a 4x2 model.

If you have a mix of types of inputs/outputs you would need a transcoder ... and that would get expensive.

Answer 3

I've got two sattellite boxes connected via a scart switch box. (one Sky one foreign). Whenever i want to change, there's a little box with the two scarts going to it, i switch it and it changes from on to the other. There's no reduction in signal or sound qualitiy and it was cheap (about £5). Beware of the cheap ones though. I bought one from (i'll have to abbreviate this for legal reasons) £ s-t-r-e-c-h-a-r-z for a couple of quid and the quality was really awful! and i mean pitiful. You can get decent ones from ASDA wallmart or Maplin if there's one near you.
