Hi guys, yes, you read that tittle right. Does it really surprise you? Laughing

I need a powered/maybe buffered S-Video switcher with at least 4 inputs but 6 or more would be preferred.
Need to be high quality and switch stereo audio as well . Anyone got one laying around?

get your hands on an extron ycssw6mx - great little switcher with support for remote (if you can find the outboard IR reciever box).

i'm still using mine - sorry - but it's a great box if you can find one.

i am pretty sure that there was a version with stereo inputs - if not i know that extron had a different model with stereo follow.

I have a Sony SB-V900 Matrix Switcher.
But I don't have the remote.
And I don't know if it would even be considered high quality for S-video.

I have a Extron director 4.1 in its box that I don't think was ever used. It has been in my closet the last 12 years at least. I will pull it out and plug it in though am quite sure it works! Any interest if it is still in good working order? What is your offer for purchase? I will have to figure out the cost of shipping once we agree on the sale too. Pretty sure it is just a new unused piece of equipment iI got when I did a job for Monster Cable and it was part of many cables and such that was given to me or I had purchased from them .

Found a spare SONY PC-1271 switcher with no cards in it. I'm going to try populating it with 8 S-video input cards and see how it goes.
