Video Switcher – The Next Generation Switch

July 30th, 2010

Also known as the VGA switcher, it is used when you need to switch video from multiple video sources to one video device. This hardware device plays an essential role in conference rooms, classrooms and presentations and can also be used for remote monitoring. Controlled by the buttons placed in the front of the unit, these devices are connected through VGA cables which connect them to the video source and display. Available in multiple sizes of 2, 4 and 8 port units, these switches can be cascaded. With the advent of technology, many different types of these switches are available in the market today. The variation in the models is due to the type of video signals which are relayed.

The HDMI switcher (High Definition Multimedia Interface), is the latest in the category of video switchers. It allows multiple devices with HDMI such as computers, DVD players, D-VHS players or set top boxes to output video to one HDMI display device. With simple push button control on the front of the unit, it allows switching between the connected devices. It is nothing but a compact audio / video connector which transmits uncompressed digital streams. Compatible with all HDMI- equipped and HDCP- enabled HDTV devices, this switch uses a single cable to connect from HDMI video source to HDMI / HDTV video display. Available with 2, 3, and 4 ports, these devices are capable of maintaining high video resolution.

The combination of a Video switcher and a video splitter in one unit gives birth to video matrix switch which enables you to route video from multiple computers to multiple displays.

The Video switcher is a hardware device which allows multiple computers to share one video display like monitors, projectors etc which have VGA ports. By daisy chaining these devices a greater number of computers can be connected. Mainly used in video and film production, these devices allow switching between different video and audio sources. This enables mixing of videos and addition of special effects or shots captured on a secondary source. Even though more than one display device is connected to the source, these switches maintain video clarity and provide sharp and clear images.

Tips On Buying A Cisco CCNA / CCNP Home Lab Kit

June 3rd, 2010

Buying a CCNA / CCNP home lab is the best way to be totally prepared for your Cisco exams. Most home labs are put together one router or switch at a time, but many CCNA / CCNP candidates prefer to buy kits where you get multiple routers and switches, along with all the cables and other connection devices you’ll need.

While this is a good idea, keep a few things in mind when purchasing Cisco home lab kits.

Don’t buy anything you don’t need. The problem is that when you’re first starting out with your Cisco home lab, you don’t know everything that you need. (I sure didn’t!) Keep in mind that you only need one transceiver per AUI port on a Cisco router, so if you’re getting routers with two AUI ports in all, you don’t need five transceivers in the kit. It doesn’t hurt to have one spare, but three is a little too much.

More importantly, don’t buy kits with old CCNA or CCNP study guides included. I’ve seen kits with books that were three years old and were of no use to the candidate. If you see a kit that looks good but includes books or manuals you just don’t want, ask the vendor for a price that doesn’t include the books. It never hurts to ask.

Watch the IOS version. Unless you’ve got access to IOS upgrades, you’ll be working with the IOS version that’s on the routers and switches when you buy the kit for a while. You don’t necessarily need the latest and greatest IOS version for CCNA study, but don’t buy routers with IOS versions beginning with “10″ unless you have an IOS to upgrade them with. (And make sure the routers have enough memory to handle the IOS you plan on putting on them.)

Purchasing a Cisco CCNA / CCNP Home Lab is one of the best investments in your career that you will ever make. Exercise just a bit of caution when purchasing your kit, and you’ll be on your way to true Cisco success, in the exam room and on your network!

Cables To Go 40450 Value Series RCA Type Audio Video Cable (25 Feet, Black) Review

I purchased this cable to run through my wall between my DVD player and TV. The length was perfect and it works flawlessly. I would definitely recommend this cable to anyone seeking a cheap, functional alternative to name brand expensive cables.

On a side note, if you’re planning on pulling this through a wall using a fish tape, make sure you tape at least a foot of cable to the tape. Sure it’s over kill, but you’ll avoid ripping one of the ends off the cable! Luckily I was able to fix mine and didn’t need to order another!

Highly recommended!
