Although I was not picked to beta this device, I think this will fix my issue of occasional video dropouts I started to have from any source components (2 oppo bd players, TW cable box, xbox) connected to 1x5 switch through to 990 and outputs to 2x5 monoprice matrix switch outputting to panasonic plasma (10 feet distance) or panasonic projector (25 feet distance). It is a random issue and not frequent. I may decide to try it out.
