Impact Accoustics / Cables to Go 40697 6x2 component switch experiences

I bought this not expecting much for a £100 device in comparison with the £1K+ price tags I've seen on most of its competition.

What can I say? It does -exactly- what it says on the tin. No evidence of video degradation through the switch and an absolute breeze to set up. Why on earth we have to get these (CE Marked!) devices from the US is beyond me. Of course it comes with a US power supply, but that's easily fixed.

It also comes with two 'wings' for 19" rack mounting. Lights on the front panel tell you where each source is routed to. Green for Output one, Red for Output two. The source is coloured Yellow if both O/P 1 and 2 are being fed by it.

Only minor issue is that I too got the front panel lock up problem when I was repeating IR signals to it via a couple of Powermid IR repeaters. Replaced those with a Keene system (much kudos to Keene too, a nice bunch to deal with) and that problem went away too.

Now if only someone could tell me how to get PS2 controllers working from 20M away my system would be perfect...

Just a placeholder in case people want to know about this....there doesn't seem to be much info around about it, and for the price it's a bit of a steal.

Regards

DAVE
