Dencon TV Scart switch

Post by Bratwurst »

Does anyone have first hand knowledge on this thing?

I am dead certain the output needs to be redone with shielded conductors to cut out the buzzing, but that's easy enough to take care of. Voltage crossover is probably another concern but I don't even use +5V in my personal cables so it's a non-issue too. What I'm wondering is if this actually handles the RGB lines or just passes through composite.

I've contacted the seller asking about it but I haven't heard from them and I doubt they'd even know.

I had one several years ago (or one that looked just like it) and it was terrible. I ended up throwing it away. It has really bad buzzing, and the picture quality loss compared to bypassing it was very noticeable.

Guess that nudges me more towards getting an Otaku 6-slot then. Video degradation is a deal breaker. Thank you very much for your insight.
