Sima VS-712EX AV Switcher

Although some CES exhibits sometimes tend towards the glamorous and unattainable, many manufacturers introduce very practical products that we can all make use of. One example of a very practical product on display was the Sima VS-712EX AV Switcher.

This is not your ordinary switcher. Whether you need to expand the inputs for your home theater system or need a patch bay for a video editing system, the VS-712E may just fill the bill. This unit features seven composite and S-Video inputs, three component video inputs, seven analog stereo inputs, and several digital audio inputs. In addition, this switcher also has three video outputs (one for recording and two for monitor display). To add to its flexibility, the VS-712EX also has composite and S-Video to component upconversion, greatly simplifying the connections to an HDTV or AV Receiver.

For a closer look, check out the above photo, which shows both the front and rear of the unit.

In addition, the VS-712EX is available now.
