artanis: Things like this is why my eyes glaze over whenever someone starts talking about running cables between devices. Survival feature, really.
Myself? IPv6 + (fast)WiFi or ethernet. If any of these devices really wanted to be connected like this they'd support running all those ins and outs through standard networking protocols.
artanis: Addendum: I bet I could nerd-snipe my dad with this. Gotta try that.
Shish: 1920x1080, 32-bit colour, 60fps = 4 gigabit; for everything else ethernet is win though :3
To explain the diagram a little; I have various audio / video sources, various connectors, and various sinks -- I realised that if I type in my list of stuff in the form of eg "PS2 -> Scart", "Scart -> Scart" (a cable), "Scart -> TV" then any random graphing software will be able to tell me what I need to plug into what to make things work.
