Does the S-Video connection to the LiDiC operate in pass-through mode?
At the moment I'm viewing Austar through the LiDiC and would also like to have a direct connection from Austar to the LCD. Rather than use a switch/splitter on the Austar box I'm hoping the LiDiC is a pass-through system so I can use the S-Video out connection.
Can anyone advise where an S-Video splitter can be obtained from? I can find an S-Video switch locally (price about $80).
I've also been told that it doesn't need to be amplified over a short distance (eg 3 m). Does that fit with the experience of others on this forum?

Hi Armiller45,
I believe that the S-Video input will also operate in pass-through mode. I haven't tested this personally though.
Jacar and Dick Smith Electronics are probably the best places to look for S-Video splitters.
I would always keep all audio and video leads as short as possible to minimise losses and the chances of the cables picking up stray interference. 3 Metres is not too bad if you need that sort of length.

Ian.
