Currently use:
Hi-def cable box component out to VGA in on the X1. (25' run)
DVD component out to S-Video on the X1. (25' run)
H-def cable box s-video out to s-video on X1. (25' run)(manual switch DVD and cable s-video to watch non hi-def channels).
Composite video for X-box. (25' run)
I would like to get a progressive scan DVD and hi-def X-Box connection. I see a couple of options.
First off i need to buy another 25' run of component for the X-Box.
option 1- run the 3 25' components to a HDTV component video switcher and run a short component out to the VGA adapter and into the X1.
This is the component switcher I am looking at http://www.inday.com/rgb4x/rgb4x.htm (is the 230Mhz bandwidth enough?)
option 2- buy 2 more component to vga adapters and run the 3 components with adapters to a VGA switcher and a short VGA cable to the X1. Are there any good VGA switchers out there for around the price of the component switcher I am looking at. Can you get by with a normal KVM switch like a computer would use?
It would be cheaper to buy a 25' run than 3 short runs and use one of the existing 25' runs (and have 1 left over doing nothing)to run from the switcher to the X1 (in case your wondering why i would run 3 25 footers).
Thanks for any help

PS I do try to answer questions if I have experience with what someone asks. its just my knowledge in this isn't very deep.
