Component Video Switching

1280 or 1920 lines is about 37Mhz. 100Mhz at -3db is what we recommend with 200Mhz or more being optimal but only of value for those few with real 1920 resolution capability.

Since nearly all A/V receivers use RCA connectors for video it is also important you keep your video cables at about 6 feet or less. RCA connectors are not really meant for such high frequency applications and will cause ringing which looks like edge enhancement.

Audio Authority 1154A Component HDTV Source Selector

Although no spec appears on the site 75 MHZ bandwidth (+-3 dB) was shared with HD Library. That is on the low side yet there has not been one complaint from users and in fact users think it is great.

I think you could ask the tens of thousands of happy owners of 1154As about their opinion of the product's performance, and they would tell you they couldn't care less about its specifications. From casual users to videophiles, never in my time at Audio Authority have I had a customer return an 1154A because of poor video performance.

It is of course your choice whether or not to list the 1154A on your website - we would certainly appreciate the endorsement, and I hope you do add the 1154A. However, I have full confidence that our 1154A is the finest 4:1 Component Video switcher on the market at its price point, and I feel that leaving it out would be a rather glaring omission due to the unit's quality, popularity, and reputation.

Enough said so it has been included in this list!

Some more... look out for this model on the website...

By the way, our new 1154B will be introduced at CES - it will have 100 mHz
(-3db) bandwidth, if my memory is correct. It also features all-metal
construction, discrete input selection, IR remote control, easily defeatable
autoselection, improved jack arrangement, and a touch-sensitive front panel.

I can vouch for this unit. I would consider myself a videophile, but without a videophile's budget. I purchased this unit probably 3 years ago after doing some searching and following the advice of our Tips List. I paid I think $190 on some sort of sale and am completely satisfied.

If you were to force me to say something bad, I suppose I would mention that in the 3 years (or so) I've owned it, I've had to un-plug it/re-plug it once or twice because the "auto-sensor" apparently got confused and I could not tune it to the proper input.

I recommend it to everyone who asks me.
