I want to build my own analog video switcher for my consoles. But I can't find any female scart connectors on mouser or digikey or even lcsc. I know I'll have to make my own cables but what connectors can be used instead of the scart plugs? RCA jacks?

Just buy a 100 pack on AliExpress, never run out of femscart connectors again

Are there any that aren't completele garbage? It took me a while to find a place where I can buy male scart plugs for my cables.

I've been wanting to do the same.
Aliexpress is the only place I've been able to find scart connectors.
Does anyone know what you call those switches? That's the part I haven't been able to find.

Looks like a pushbutton bank switch with 9 contacts.

Why all this effort just to stick to a shit connector? Just use BNC and a matrix switch.

SCART was designed in 1980 to be plugged once and never be touched again. SCART switch boxes fulfill this concept perfectly.

Is there really a quality difference between BNC and RCA (speaking about parts you can actually buy new on Mouser or DigiKey)?

No, but extron matrix switches are high quality and cheap.

i dont understand what the point of this is?
to have a shitload of cables\wires everywhere?
to have a fire-hazard shitload of fuck behind the tv?
why would you leave vintage electronics plugged in 24\7?

why cant you just plug in an AV extension cable and use it on a per-system basis?
does it really take you more than 20 seconds to plug it in each time?


I LEAVE NO CORDS OUT PERIOD
IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT

all controllers, wires, bullshit, etc
is in a fucking drawer where normies cant see them

fuck cable management
fuck op for wasting money on this retarded shit
fuck having a messy absolutely disgusting battlestation

SHAMEFUL
