Insane SCART switch with HDMI out?!

Anyone seen this?! I wanna know more! Wonder if it scales on the HDMI out or is just an ADC. Also wonder if the DE15 out has the option for RGBHV...

He says the db15 works only on "crt type monitors, not LCD" so I would assume it's only csync out.

Mm, word. Still cool! Simplifies connecting to any Extron shit or capture cards :)

Haha, we need to flood Bob's patreon for retroRBG to get him to buy it and test it. Something tells me, that despite how cool it is, it is probably too good to be true.

Damn, what a monstrous beast! Am I seeing it right, that it also switches 120Vac power to each system in addition to switching the SCART signa? Pretty over the top!

It upconverts to 220V. Seems like a really neat feature for people in Europe who import NTSC/J systems.

No way, then none of us will be able to get their hands on one if he endorses it! lol

This sounds backwards to me. If you're in Europe, aren't the mains already 220V? And how would that be compatible with 100~120V systems?

On further reading, it sounds like it will step down 220V to 110V on a per-outlet basis. It's not clear to me if that means it requires 220V or if it would work with 110V. That still leaves out 100V for Japanese systems.

The per-outlet voltage selection sounds neat but risky. There doesn't sound like there's any protection if one were to accidentally connect a 100V/110V system to a 220V outlet or accidentally hit one or more voltage toggles.
