Two Way s-Video switch boxes

Hi all.

I've been digging around, and thus far not found exactly what I want. I'm being really picky here!

I've after a two-way S-Video switch box. I.e., it has the following inputs/outputs:

2x S-Video Inputs
2x L/R Phono Inputs
2x Composite Inputs (not super-important)

1x S-Video output
1x L/R Phono Outputs
1x Composite Output (again, not required, but nice to have)

I've found a three-way one on maplin, but it looks a bit big and cumbersome, so I want to try and find something smaller and better organised. If anybody can point me in the direction of one - fairly cheaply - I'll be ver grateful :)

Many thanks!

    At £60 it's probably too much for what you want, but I've got one of these . (You'd have to wire the audio into SCART leads unless you've got optical connections).

    [EDIT: I think I've just found the one on Maplin you were looking at. That one looks ideal, I don't think you're going to get anything cheaper or more compact than that!)

    That's a bit OTT for what I want. There's loads of really intricate stuff like that, but nothing (or barely anything!) for simple A/B switching!

    The link doesn't work, it has a shopping cart session ID in it. :)

    Typical bollocks. A remote control for your scart switch.
    Has to be near the top of the list of worlds most OTT gadgets.

    Might as well buy a DVD recorder for less with twin SVHS inputs

    Bit harsh!!!! especially seeing as Chris Simon said it was probably over and above what the OP is looking for. But, with the following in/outputs:

    Inputs include: 4 x RGB Scart / 4 x Composite / 2 x S-Video / 2 x Digital Optical.

    Outputs include 1 x Scart / 1 x Composite / 1 x S-Video / 1 x Digital Optical.

    It's a worthwhile bit of kit if you have a LOT of inputs to juggle!
