I’ll make enquires and see if I can get anywhere.

 

So far a flight is not planned, knowing my luck I’d get lifted as some US Customs Official would accuse me of trying to bomb the plane J

My Yamaha amp (RVX800) has a couple of component inputs, and a component output, as does my DVD player although I've actually only got comp video connected at the moment.

 

I'd certainly be interested in the i-Scan Pro 3 if you can get that kind of target price.

Do you have to fly out and get them ? :-)

 

Scott.

IMO component is better that S-Video, whether it's worth the hassle or
not is another matter given that few amps will switch a component signal
but almost all AV amps will switch S-Video fine. I put Keith's modules
on instead of using a lengthy cable and there was a noticeable
difference in quality, sharpness etc.

As for a line doubler...it's next on my hitlist of things to get,
probably a DVDO i-Scan as its great VFM as well as a terrific little
product. I am talking to a guy in
Canada and one in the US about this
just now to see what I can get the i-Scan Pro 3 for as it will accept a
240V supply and handles PAL, NTSC and SECAM. If anyone is interested let
me know and I'll see in we can organise a "bulk" buy, bearing in mind
that bulk in this case will be two or three in all likelihood and the
target price is around a "landed" £400 or so, not bad given that the
UK
price is £700.
