So I am looking at getting a video switcher for our space. Every once and awhile we get those shows that require 2 laptops (powerpoint) or 1 laptop and a camera and DVD player etc... Various sources. The switchers I have access to are very simple VGA switches. However what I don't like is that lets say I have two laptops running different powerpoints. When I use those switches it basically tells one of the computers "hey you have a second monitor good for you!" while the other loses any scent of having a monitor. this is troublesome especially while using qlab for video playback. As when we switch away from the qlab machine and back it still recognizes the screen but the cue doesn't get sent to the projector. Basically I need a switcher that keeps a constant sync with the computers (all mac/pc would be nice). Also it would be nice if it was a scaler as well as we get computers in all different resolutions, most the time it is 3min before the presentation.
I found this. But it doesn't really tell me if it will keep sync with the non-active sources.
Any input? I am trying to keep it below 1500.00
Thanks!
