Workaround for 1066 2 component video input limitation?

[SayersWeb]

Since getting an HD cable box I have three sources of component video (cable box, DVD, Playstation 2) to use with my front projector system. I've been using S-Video with the PS2, but it does not look anywhere near as good on a 92" screen.

So, I'm trying to think of a good workaround. The switch boxes are attractive, but I seriously fear they may affect the video signal quality. It's difficult for me to get at the back of the 1066, DVD, or cable box, to do cable swapping. The projector has only a single component input along with a DVI-D, S-video, and 15-pin VGA.

Any suggestions?

VGA to component breakout cables are fairly easy to find and would give you another input since you could run one of the runs directly to the projector

Hey! Thanks for the suggestion. That has potential!

I recently tried the Audio Authority 1154 component video switch with my new RSP-1066, and had sync problems in the upper portion of the picture which showed as wavy lines and distortion a few inches from the top of the screen. Just returned it and am now waiting on delivery of the Zektor HD switch. Hopefully it will work better. It has 4 inputs, wide bandwith, and has been reviewed well. Also works by remote control.

I'll be very interested to hear how it works out. How much does the device cost?

Thanks!
