In Use for 2+ Years

"I've had 2 of these running in several incarnations of a Video Control Room at my church. One is pre-titles, the other is post-titles. They've been in use for years, though never for more than 36 hours at a stretch. They get the job done, but I've since discovered D/A's that allow control of Luminance and Chrominance! Overall, these Radio Shack units work great - Never had a problem with them!..." Read Full Review »

"It worked great for several months. Then just stopped. The biggest flaw I found was you couldn't tell when it was plugged in and "on". Time was often wasted looking at video cable connections only to find the power cable came loose (not totally unplugged...just loose enough it wasn't getting power)...." Read Full Review »
