Hello ladies and gentlemen of YouTube
I wanted to do a little review today.
I got an interesting product that
I'm excited about getting.
I really haven't touched on this too much on my channel
but I am very much into classic gaming systems.
I've got a video on the Atari 400 but I actually have..
a 2600, I've got every NES console except for the Wii U
I've got xbox, playstation 1 and 2.
And a Dreamcast.
And having all of those different consoles hooked up to your tv
can be a bit challenging.
So I found a neat product,
and just got a shipment today.
And it has a couple of other things in it but
I mainly wanted to review
this one product
To share with others because
well I did look for reviews myself and couldn't find anything so..
Here we go, let's open this up and see what we have in there.
Alright
[click}
What have we got.
[tape tearing]
I know what's in here
I ordered it, I should know.
I must say, one of the items is small than I expected.
Let's see..
A ha!
Alright, here's one of the products that I got
It is a snap tite Tie Fighter.
This is going to be an upcoming video here.
This little product here is for a label maker that I have.
But this...
right here..
Is the main thing I want to review.
Eight port video audio switch.
You plug eight things in and one thing out.
And you can plug up several different devices, games
VCRs, DVDs all kinds of stuff
as long as it's using the..
red white and yellow plug.
and I have quite a few systems.
I'm pretty much going to fill this up.
I may have one space left after I'm done today.
Video which is yellow as usual
and left right audio, white and red.
and you have them in pairs.
Pair of yellow, white and red.
You can see...
Number 1, number 2, number 3, number 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.
[clears throat]
And out.
It's really not a lot to it.
I got it because I have been wanting to get one of these
but everything I find so far has a maximum of four.
Which means I would have to at least get two different ones.
This combines 8 into one.
And you have..

Switch

It's one of those
[click]
you push it in and it...
[click]
When you push another in the first one pops out.

Like an old car stereo.

So this is neat.
This is neat. I will say and I already know this  before I got it
when you see this online
I got this from Amazon
I'm pretty sure you can get this from other places
but evey every picture I've seen shows two.
It shows the back..
And then stacked on top it shows the front.
So it makes it look like it's thicker then it is.
It's not, I'm fine with that.
Takes up less space.
And you know, they do that to show front and back
but it's not necessarily clear that hey
this is the front and the back of two products.
Not what one looks like.
So I'm going to go hook this up
and play some games.
I've got all my cables ready here.
I just recently redid my..
entertainment center if you will.
It's now the final product
but I've got all my systems
almost all
set up in here to where I can play them.
I just need to wire them in.
So I've set them all up.
I run the cables up here
I labeled them.
This is why I needed more labels for my label gun
because I used them up labeling these.
Let's start hooking these up.
And hook it up to the TV.
We go
[inaudible]
And there we have it.
Crap tone of cables.
[clears throat]
Essentially just have room
for one more which
honestly that's the Playstation 2 right there.
I don't have it down stairs, it's in my bedroom but..
at some point it will come back down here.
But let's play with it.
Let's see how well it works.
I started with the first switch and the NES.
I just happened to have Super Mario 2 in the console.
The video looks good, sounds good
From there I just cycled through my different systems.

Switching from one channel to the next
is as easy as pushing a button.
The button has a nice solid feel.
It switches instantly and seamlessly .
Each channel came through clean.
With an image and sound as good as you can expect
from an older system with VGA cable.
It's very nice to be able to easily switch
between my different consoles without having to go through the hassle
of unplugging and switching out my cables.

Uh, huh!
I think I'll be playing a lot more

of my older systems now.

Simple device. Does exactly what it says it does.
I able to play 8 different systems or devices
through one switch.
Very neat, compact, slim.
Fits nicely on to of the Nintendo here.
Although it can be a little back heavy with all the cables pulling on it.
You just [click] press your button
and play the device.

Switch over seems really clean.
Each channel seems really clean.
There's no interference.
there's no problems.
I had a rather cheap 3 port one of these
and the channels were fuzzy
um, it didn't switch cleanly
and it eventually just completely gave up working at all.
So this is
exactly what I expected.
You can easily find this on Amazon.
It is a
MT-VIKI 8 port
av rca splitter.
I'll put a link to it down below.
If you have any questions or comments
please leave them down below.
It's really not much to say about this.
It's nice clean, does what it's supposed to do.
I'm, it's well worth the money.
It takes up so much less space
Than buying two four port switches.
and two four port switches take up both
video ins on the back of my TV.
This only takes up one.
And it leaves me plenty of room to expand
with new systems in the future.
Thank you for watching.
and keep on keeping on.
And now to play with my other little toy.
