switching screen inputs

**Corksil** · 02-23-2008, 10:10 AM

Hey I'm wondering if anyone has any experience switching two inputs on a video screen with a switch.

For instance flipping the switch one way displays input 1, and flipping it the other way displays input 2. How could I hook up a simple toggle switch instead of an a/v input selector box? thanks for any replies!

what type of inputs do you want to switch? (VGA, S-video, composite, etc)?

what brand/model monitor do you want to use it on?

I am undecided but probably composite video. The screen type is undecided but I speculate it will have only one composite input.

if you're going to build a carPC, then you'll want a VGA monitor (regular video monitors look like crap for computer use). most VGA monitors have multiple inputs.

I use a Lilliput EBY701. it has 1 VGA input and 2 composite inputs, with a button on the front panel to switch inputs.

Thanks but this will not be for a car PC. I do not need VGA for my purposes, composite will do fine.

I guess I'll fabricate/modify something. Thanks for the reply!
