Bandridge Premium Performance 3 Way Automatic SCART Selector Switching Box

Retro gaming folks, make no mistake: this one has FULL BLOWN RGB inputs and ouputs. I've been using it for the past few months with a Bang & Olufsen BeoCenter 1 and it's perfect, the same quality as if I had connected the SCART RGB cable directly to the TV's input. I believe the reason for that is that this switcher is powered, and comes with a mains adapter (despite not saying so in the product description: it DOES comes with a power supply, although it has the European 2 pin plug, you'll need an adapter for that. The switching is very fast, introduces no noise when switching, all in all, I only wish it had more inputs, but if you need anything better/more complex/with more inputs, then the solution is to go with specialized retrogaming solutions from Lotharek or OtakuStore. But then the price is up to 10 times more.

Easy to set up and use. The power supply comes with a 2 pin plug so needs an adapter (used a shaver adapter). Using it to connect 3 SCART only devices to new TV (with only HDMI inputs) in conjunction with a SCART to HDMI converter (available separately on Amazon). Switches automatically to the SCART device most recently powered on. All works a treat allowing access to my 3 SCART devices (with the added benefit of only using one HDMI port on the TV).

As a complete tech luddite, I called in the services of a friend who put this all together for me. It really turned out to be straightforward .... even for someone like me. And it works a treat. It instantly does what it is meant to do, without any faff, and I now have my Sky box and my DVD player connected to my tv screen that only has one scart connection. And, if I want to turn on the DVD player, I don't have to turn off my Sky box. I just open the DVD player using the remote and the switcher automatically does it all for me. Ditto, the reverse. Still, there is a 'but'! I am glad I did get my friend to help as I would have been wholly confused. It turns out that I needed another scart lead (I had two - one for the Sky box and one for the DVD player) to go from the TV to the new switcher box. And this was not included in the Bandridge package. Just so you know and will use a spare you might have around or order an extra scart connector! Also, as has been previously mentioned, it only comes with a two-point plug, so be sure you have a converter plug, too.

I though this might be crap because initially it was, all my consoles had expensive scart cables on them, but this under performed, put a top notch cable from this to the TV and it's frankly the nuts. Used to get hazy colour bleedy signals on 4th gen consoles, now it's the auto switching nuts. Can't recommend retrogamingcables.co.uk enough for realising just how good this switching box is. get yourself an eu to uk adapter tho, comes only with the wrong connector. just make sure you buy a proper one rather than a pussy amp shaving one. easy £2 purhase

Let me be another to add to the confirmations that this is indeed NOT self powered, not even close. It needs to be plugged in and it needs to be plugged in via a two pin plug. This is the stage I am at in this process. I have an adaptor on order and so I trust the other reviews on here enough to mean this will hopefully be the end of my troubles vis a vis easily watching tv via 3 sources.

Item arrived today, unpacked it was not to find a wet substance all over the plug! Took photos and not sure what the substance is but being an electrical product could be very dangerous. Will be returning the item and not happy!

This product works-ISH. If all associated devices are powered up it simply switches to the device plugged into the highest numbered Scart socket. No way of changing between inputs without powering down the other device(s). Also, despite what it says on Amazon's product description, it ISN'T self powered; It requires the supplied mains adaptor. Why do people lie?

This works perfectly. I'm running a sky+HD box & a PS3 through it for my bedroom CRT TV. It uses the 'last device switched on' method, whereby if one device is already on & you switch on another, the 2nd device is routed to the TV. If you then switch off the 2nd device, it reverts back to the 1st. 'Auto switching' also works fine - where the TV detects the signal from the device & switches over to that input automatically. 2 things to note though: 1) This product IS powered & is supplied with a mains adaptor. 2) The mains adaptor supplied has an E.U. specification 2 pin plug, so you will need a converter.

Très pratique pour brancher 3 appareil simultanément. Qualité RAS boîtier ne prend pas trop de place. Petit et efficace

I bought this for a handful of retro consoles that output RGB, this handles them very well, which is abnormal because old consoles tend not to adhere to video standards very well, so they are often incompatible with many devices. This switch is about as small as it could be with all the ports built into it.

Prodotto sicuramente in linea con le aspettative e pertanto di buona qualità. Il segnale video viene trasmesso immediatamente e senza necessità di azionare un comando switch. Unica piccola seccatura l'alimentazione di rete, ma ci si passa sopra subito. 1-2 ingressi scart in più non avrebbero infine guastato. Consigliato!

Es justo lo que buscaba, en mi caso lo estoy utilizando para conectar 4 consolas a mí TV que sólo tiene dos entradas RGB, por lo que tenía que estar moviendo la tele continuamente para cambiar de scart,(con el desgaste del conector que eso puede suponer), hacia tiempo que buscaba algo así pero ninguno me generaba confianza ya que no quería interferencias o pérdidas de calidad de imagen. Después de haberlo probado bastante puedo decir que es una maravilla, hay cero interferencias y la imagen es exactamente igual que sin el aparato, el solo detecta la entrada que estás usando y no tienes que hacer nada , se acabó el tener que apartar la tele y tocar más cables, se queda todo fijo, por fin, lo recomiendo muchísimo, y el precio, increíble para la calidad de este switch de scarts

Der Switcher funktioner tadellos. Es reicht sogar aus die Geräte im Standby zu lassen. Beim Einschalten wird diese neue Quelle erkannt und dann das Signal an den Output weitergereicht. KEINE nervigen Schalterkombinationen, KEINE Fernbedienungen, einfach Plug und Play und das Stromkabel anschließen. So soll das sein...
