I'm live, trying out Infidelity's latest NES to SNES port - TMNT!!!
I haven't played this game since I was a kid, so I'll probably be terrible. But hopefully it'll still be a fun look though: www.youtube.com/live/YziAlaE...

I tested an HDMI 4K120 HDMI splitter and it never dropped out once...
...but it's NOT "PS3 Compatible" and didn't work with odd PC resolutions like 1440p240.
Still great for TV signals, or streaming game consoles that are compatible with capture cards:

Ha, I remember Emanuelle from when I was a kid and would stay up late at friends houses who had Cinemax! Remember when they branched out and did “Emanuelle in space”? 😂🤣😂🤣

I finally found a CHEAP #cellphonetripod mount that doesn't suck! This one held even the largest phone I tested in place without falling out. At about $10 it's a must buy for anyone who needs one! Here's an Amazon affiliate link to the exact one I bought: retrorgb.link/st-06s

I recently released a video showcasing cheap 480i HDMI #downscalers for CRT's and said I couldn't find one that outputted YPbPr. Well, I was wrong! Here's a short video showcasing a decent, low lag one!: youtu.be/BUgTIOqetYU

I love this pic of my old NYC apartment, showing the "TV Generations of curve":
The JVC D-Series in the back showing the typical outward CRT bubble, my C6 OLED showing the reverse curve & the epic BVM-D32 showing its flat CRT.
I know I've posted this before, but I wanted to share it one more time :)

...and oh yeah, you can just route the stream signal right through the Extron switch! That's a much better idea. And I love that the 19" showing the stream will be the first thing people see when they walk in :)
