Shinybow 4x2 Component Switcher (SB-5470)

Post by erik343 »

I am wondering about the Shinybow 4x2 Component Matrix Routing Switchers (SB-5470 or SB-5460).

Do these have any brightness loss, sharpness loss, noise, or any noticeable input delay?

I am going to hook up my WII, my XBOX, and possibly a PS2.

Thanks.

I have this same switcher. I've been running it for a couple of years now and have noticed zero issues with it. Everything plays and looks just as it would when hooked straight to my TV. I'm currently running it with my PS2, XBox, and Wii.

Thanks.

I am going to buy another Shinybow 6x2 SCART Switcher and the Shinybow 4x2 Component Switcher as well...

Anyone with a Shinybow SCART matrix switcher has tried it with c-sync RGB? I get severe visual noise with mine (using a cable from an Emudriver PC which otherwise works flawlessly, even with another SCART switch). Asked Shinybow Europe, no support for these now, it seems.

Any idea how to solve it or why could that happen? Any suggestion for a 6:2 SCART switcher with audio out from China (I just need to output simultaneously to 2 SCART monitors, selectable auto/manual detection also welcome)?

Thx.

^^^ I use one of their SCART switchers with a C-SYNC cable for the SNES and N64 and haven't had any issues.

Thanks for the input. I have to try it with the Saturn, but this cable is 5V/TTL, which my displays don't like.

Anyway, I'll still welcome any suggestion regarding Chinese/Ali Express 6:2 SCART switchers with amplifier. Or if there's one I should avoid.
