SCART Switch
Can anyone recomment a SCART switch (preferably auto-switching) with no degradation of the video or audio quality? I'm looking to connect multiple SCART devices into the XRGB-3. Thanks!

Re: SCART Switch
I would be careful with auto selecting scart switches. I had problems where when I turned my genesis on my super nintendo would get power. I think the saturn would create problems too. Weird things happen because of the voltages being passed through the lines. It also depended on which device was on which port of the selector strip. After trying to get 4 devices working on the auto selecting switch unsuccessfully I ended up ditching the auto selector and went with the madcatz manual rgb scart switch pictured:

with low degradation, I imagine expensive.
go with physical switches.

I use a combination of Bluedelta Smart SCART's and a Silverscreen Trilogy 1, with good quality cables in between. The Trilogy 1 seems hard to find now but the Bluedelta Smart SCART's are easily available. Only bad thing about them is there's no manual override and you're bound to have one device that won't auto switch, even though the Smart SCART's are designed to auto-switch everything, even stuff that normally won't.

The best and cheapest choice are the AV Control Center 1 or 2 by Joytech, i own the 2 model, they're awesome, no quality loss.
