GONK WROTE:

"I suspect that some of you may be getting weary of hearing my take on this, and for that I apologize"

MY RESPONSE: "You've got to be kidding"
Seriously: this equipment is expensive and we all want to make the right decisions. Input from gonk ereally helps. Certainly it helps me, so thanks, gonk.

So unless I missed the point I'll be switching video with DVI and if it is HDMI gear I'll only be switching the video. OK. So Mrs. nfaguys and I will have to switch audio another way. Not having ever seen even a 950, I imagine one can easily do this with outlaw pre/pro's.
