I have many signal sources and many monitors which makes for a very complex interconnect.
Having a system set up so all functions give best performance is one consideration, but theres another.
When I sit down on any normal evening to watch a program, news ,weather whatever, I will turn on only the big screen and the sat reciever and kick back.
Now my AV reciever is not on, the projector screen is not on, cable box is not on,all the other units are not going to be used.
System is in Basic mode.
I'm channel surfing and stumble on a great live performance, on comes the AV sound system, this is Concert mode.
On the weekend I have a good loud DVD to watch, this would be Movie mode.
I can go on and on so I'll just mention modes, Game mode PS2, Party mode, when all screens are on, Wife mode she watches tapes on vcr, PC mode media edition, Reverse pc mode for video capture.
Pretty much if there is an I/O port on any device I'm gonna use it.
My problem is that each function of these inputs and outputs have to change depending on what I'm doing with the system.
There is no way to optimise all the interconnects to cover the different modes.
Should I put in a rack mount patch panel?
Is anyone else frustrated with this?
Does everyone pull it all apart every couple months to try getting things better?
