The macros themselves should be very simple - instead of sending the signal to the 990 asking it to switch to the "video2" or "DVD" input, you simply send that command along with a command to the scaler to switch to the corresponding video input.
Thanks for the input Gonk. I can now visualize how a video scaler works with the 990. I can also see how I can save money by buying the 990 and a video Scaler - VP over the AVM50
