Hello. I am considering using my gcompsw 4:1 to merge component and RGB signals running from one Sony PVM to another, and I'm wondering if there are any drawbacks to doing so, such as damage to the switch or my equipment.
Basically, I want to run both RGB and component separately from a PVM-20L5 with a BKM-129X expansion card, into the gcompsw, then into the single slot of RGB inputs on a PVM-1954Q.
I tried this exact setup with a passive switch, and the brightness was significantly lowered on my 20L5 when passing signal to the 1954Q, even when the latter was powered off. Not sure if that's an issue with chaining PVMs together or if it has something to do with the passive switch I've been using, but I wanted to get your thoughts before attempting it on the gcompsw.
Thanks!
