Can I switch a composite video or S-video signal through a CrossPoint matrix switcher?
You certainly can, but you must dedicate an output to that type of signal. You would use a single color channel (red, green or blue) for a composite video signal, two colors for S-video, and three for component video. The key is to be consistent on the outputs. The CrossPoint switcher does not do any transcoding–whatever signal type comes in is what comes out. By incorporating our DVS 150 scaler or VSC line of scan converters, we can loop them back in and streamline our signal types.
