Can I plug a Gscartsw into gcompsw?

[muell67]

I have a Sony KV-36FV300 with one component input. currently Im using a cheap scart switch plugged into a shinny bow scart to component adapter.
I am wanting to upgrade to a Gcompsw and a Gscartsw. Will I be able to plug the gcompsw to the tv then the shinny bow to the gcompsw and the gscartsw to the shinnybow?
Will the switches still auto switch imputs? Is there a better way of doing this?

I have a series of SCART switches into a component converter into my gcompsw and it works fine.

The RetroTINK RGB2COMP (disclaimer: I sell them) is supposed to be a bit better and supports higher resolutions, but that's not really relevant if you're connecting it to an SDTV, and you already own the Shinybow, so you're probably fine as-is.

The setup should work fine. Just remember that with analog video, you want to minimize the number of conversions/hops as much as possible, because every stage in an analog video pipeline will very slightly degrade the signal.

I guess I will give it a shot and see how it goes. I was worried that having the shinny bow plugged into the gscompsw would make the automatic imput switch not work. I thought it would always see the shinny bow as active.

Yup, this was what I use, Though mine terminates in the OSSC before the TV, but still it looks/works great! I'm not really sure why the RGB2Comp isn't "always active" enough to always have that component output all the time...

If you're saying that the RGB2COMP doesn't output a signal unless it's receiving a signal, then that would be a good thing for people who use automatic switchers; otherwise, the RGB2COMP would peg that one input on the component switcher.

How does the ShinyBow converter act when it loses sync from its RGB side?

I agree, that's why I use the rgb2comp! I don't want it to output unless it has an input. @DirkSwizzler gets it!
