ABSTRACT:
To permit the use of a single remote control device in an AV system that can supply incompatible video signals, a switch box (18) receives composite and S-video signals from an AV receiver, transforming these signals into the component video domain, and also receives component video signals from, e.g., a DVD player (14), with the output of the switch box being displayed on a television (16), and also receives a signal from a DVI source (101). The synchronization portion of the component video signal from the DVD player is sent to one of the input ports (14) of the AV receiver as a trigger signal for comparison thereof with the synchronization signal in the switch box (18). When a user selects the AV receiver input port into which the trigger signal is input, the sense signal at the switch box (18) is identical to the synchronization signal of the component video, and the switch box (18) consequently sends the component video to the television (16). Otherwise, one of the video signals from the AV receiver (14) is sent to the television (16). If a DVI display (114) is present, analog signals fare converted and scaled to produce a DVI signal suitable for display (114).
