news!<span> </span>Thought you might have that one
covered
already.<o></o></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"
color="navy" face="Arial"><span>Now to be
_<i><span>Really</span></i>_ picky, what if I want
to have the Left audio channel
from one source and the Right from
another?<o></o></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"
color="navy" face="Arial"><span>Not just to
test the flexibility of your
design I might add – this could be useful if you were watching TV
for
instance and wanted to quickly check the baby monitoring audio channel, so
you
just flick the left audio and away you go – you can still hear
(1/2) of
what’s going on <span
class="SpellE">on</span> the
box!<o></o></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"
color="navy" face="Arial"><span>Whilst
we’re on the subject of the
switcher – I know you haven’t done any digital audio
KAT5 units
yet, but do you think the switcher will be able to handle switching digital
whenever it makes an
appearance???<o></o></span></font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"
color="navy" face="Arial"><span>Oh yes, and
your comments about the first
cards are interesting – I’d always envisaged it as an
all in one
unit ala the Linn <span
class="SpellE">Intersekt</span>, but it seems this will
be a bit of a spider <span
class="SpellE">jobbie</span> with loads of Kat5 units
hanging off it.<span> </span>Do you think
you’ll
do an all in one 8x8 unit or is it just too much
hassle?<o></o></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"
color="navy"
face="Arial"><span><o> </o></span></font></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><font size="2"
color="navy" face="Arial"><span>I guess you
get the flexibility with the
spider approach that you just buy the switcher and add KAT5 units as and
when
required……<o></o></span></font></p>

Keith,</span></font></tt><tt><font

size="2" face="Courier New"><span>
<tt><font face="Courier New">Been thinking about the
switcher today and thought
I'd mention a feature</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">that could be very
useful - the ability to route the
audio and video</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">from a source
independently.</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">Why would anyone want
that?</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">Well, if I'm listening
to my audiotron/rio/slimp3
and want to change</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">music, it would be nice
if I could route the
s-video out from the music</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">server and the music out
from the audio device to
the TV so I can</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">control it _and_ listen
to it at the same time.</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">I wouldn't want to have
a single source that is
the audio source's audio</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">+ the PC video signal
because I would want to use
the PC video signal</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">for other audio devices
controlled by the PC which
are connected to the</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">switcher, and it would
seem a bit silly to split
the PC video signal</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">into multiple outputs
before plugging into the
switcher when the</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">switcher can do this
anyway......</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">What do you
think?</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">Probably already down as
a feature I'd imagine :)</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">Oh, and are you thinking
of scart sockets again,
or separate phono +</font></tt>
<tt><font face="Courier New">svideo
inputs?</font></tt>
