vtecfelon23 · 09-10-2008, 05:24 PM

MJS Gadgets has introduced a new product. It is a USB controlled audio selection device. This enables you to turn your single "line-in" jack on your computer to 4 "line-in" jacks and control which input you would like to hear via software. The software has a systray app that allows fast switching between channels with hotkeys. There are also available plug-ins for Centrafuse and RoadRunner. Mp3car Store now carries the UAS, view additional product information here. Share information or opinions here in the Mp3car Blog Talk section .

Can this be used for video signals instead?

No, it Shouldnt be used for video
for one its not set at 75 ohms for input impedance
the IC its based on is only designed for AUDIO

Sorry...

is there really a need for a video switch?

i could see a need for it for those with multiple cams they'd like to switch from.

im not sure of the demand for a unit like this... but i want one. they have various PCI cards available - for surveillance monitoring - but they are kind of pricey - and i dont have pci available in the truck.

Just because I haven't found anything in the market that's similar... However, my argument is also that video devices are more expensive than audio devices, so sharing them is more important...

but then again, there are some speakers that cost as much as a big screen plasma...

I'd find it useful for the multiple camera thing, where I'd only need one camera anyway... either rear view, front color, or FLIR...

dont they make like, 4 input usb video capture devices?
yea they do, but dont get confused, capture device vs video switch

jongscx · 09-29-2008, 08:52 PM

yeah, but that requires a PC... I guess this one does too, so if there was a manual control AND usb that'd be nice...

Hey Mitch,
What would cause my UAS to not "remember" what input is was on when resuming from hibernation? It works great other than that. For instance, if I click on XM in RR, the UAS switches to input 1 (where my XMD is connected), and if I click on Radio, the UAS switches to input 2 (where my HD radio is connected). It always seems to resume to input 1 though.... any thoughts?
