yes, unfortunately community does not support them. they are all for very expensive and bloated products. i even messaged retrorgb to post my review on his site but got no response.
Do you know if this switch will output safe sync levels from cables that have a sync stripper in them? According to RetroRBG similar Otaku switches produced really high levels that can damage the connected devices. Do you have anything that you might be able to test it with? The issue is that I have PS1, PS2 and some other cables that also have sync strippers and replacing them will be really costly.
i didn't understand what you meant but for me no problem happened for all my 11 consoles connected via scart. i didn't open the device but i believe it uses mechanical relays to connect the signals, i definately heard it. thus no problem for signals at all;
If i happen to have the very same Scart Switch and i'm using already the Scart Output with my OSSC what would you do if i still want to hook it up to my recently acquired CRT TV?
you need 2 simultaneous outputs right? then you need some sort of video amplifier or splitter. this scart switch has the rca outputs and the japanese scart (JP21) which are active at the same time... you can use those for sure but you have to figure out how.
I have something similar to this one I got off eBay ordered it last Thursday and arrived yesterday morning and very chuffed. It didn't come with a SCART cable but I bought 2 from Retro Gaming Cables as they're high quality as well as my console SCART cables (right now PlayStation 2, Nintendo GameCube and Wii)
best solution on the market is this scart switch. i noticed that cascading 2 of it may not be compatible with some consoles... but that is not the case for majority of them.
I was wondering, do you know if it's possible to get 2 simultaneous outputs from this model in particular? I know one of the outputs uses the japanese scart layout, I was hoping to get a modified cable or maybe an adapter in order to use it with the ossc and a gbs control. I know they're selling a newer model with a blue pcb that they advertise as being able to output from both scart ports (and that both follow the european layout) but that isn't cheap at all.
Hey my friend, i bought the same scart switch and everything with rgb cables works fine. But it won't recognize my N64 oder Nes, which are connected via Composite Cables with Scart Adapters... On their page it says i could use no RBG Devices like N64 or NES. Do you now what i am doing wrong? Or how can I activate the Composite mode?
well, i haven't tested that really. its internal circuit probably looking for a signal on the pin 20 which holds csync or composite sync. as for the NES, I have a Twin Famicom modded with RGB and it works fine. so NES type sync works fine. so now please check when you hook the composite console on a certain input, check the light if it turns on or not. meaning does it know you hooked it in or not. then you need to check the output with maybe an ossc or using a scart to composite adapter which extracts the composite signal into a regular rca jack which you can use on crt.
nice review bud , how things turning out a few months later ? I was thinking of getting a 6 port scart switcher from the exact same seller , but I just wanted to see how things are still going with your switcher before making the purchase.
@@Thundertronics great , like you said the switcher is cheaper than a lot of other switchers and that made me quite concerned about the quality of the switcher
Why you don't test the component output from the switcher and instead you are using the retrotink trascoder scart to component ? Good video +1 by the way.
I am currently looking for a scart switch but it should support both RGB and composite signals since some of my consoles can only output composite signal. Any suggestion?
don't use composite! mod them to use rgb and make ALL your setup RGBs then use whatever to connect to HDTV or CRT TV. I made several consoles RGB mod here and many others on YT. if you have a problem with one of them, please state it here.

Thank you sooooo much, finally someone took the time and made a _detailed_ video of one of these cheap switches.

@@Thundertronics that is strange... retrorgb is great in many ways, postwd about cheap alternatives before (not switches)
Thanks for reviewing and testing , really great review and has helped me make my decision in purchasing
You are welcome, for this case I made the video... to help people pay little money for nice features instead of +200$ for really nothing.
Great review video! This was really helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
thank you very much, what a thorough review!
welcome bro.
Great review, thank you
i hope you liked it
did you say you can use jp21 with this? does it auto detect between euroscart and jp21?
Great review. Thank you ☺️
Thanks for watching!
Can you output audio directly to RCA left right ?

لاحظت الصفاوه صارت اقل يوم انك مشبكه بالسويتش مقارنه انك مشبكه مباشر للرترو تانك ؟
او هي نفس الصفاوه
نفس الشيء أخوي ما يفرق لأن الكوابل ممتازة والسويتش هذا ما يأثر

i haven't test this feature but maybe you need to test.
I have a similar one and it can do both outputs at once I don't see why this one couldn't do that
Can you tell me if there is a possibility of interconnecting two switches of this scart to connect 20 video games?
i tried powering multiple consoles, no issue at all.

How do you connect the third rgbs output to a hdtv?
You should use an upscaler like the retrotink 5x
you should use a scaler or converter to HDMI or go the other route of converting it to component video.
i convert it to component then to my crt.
nice review bud , how things turning out a few months later ? I was thinking of getting a 6 port scart switcher from the exact same seller , but I just wanted to see how things are still going with your switcher before making the purchase.
hello, it is going very well, zero problems and works as intended. just get the 10 ports one i reviewed in this video.
@@Thundertronics great , like you said the switcher is cheaper than a lot of other switchers and that made me quite concerned about the quality of the switcher
Vegeta, whats the price in USD?
i mentioned it is about 80$, check the link in description.
Why you don't test the component output from the switcher and instead you are using the retrotink trascoder scart to component ? Good video +1 by the way.
it does not have component output but that is just RGB via RCA
I am currently looking for a scart switch but it should support both RGB and composite signals since some of my consoles can only output composite signal.
Any suggestion?
maker a mod rgb on them, i do this on all i have, until Atari 2600 you can make the mod.
don't use composite! mod them to use rgb and make ALL your setup RGBs then use whatever to connect to HDTV or CRT TV.
I made several consoles RGB mod here and many others on YT.
if you have a problem with one of them, please state it here.
