I still think that a separate broadcast quality video switcher with DVI-D/HDMI & HDCP, Firewire IEEE 1394b, component analog, S-Video, and composite support would be better than having it built-in to the surround audio processor. There are too many variables right now with copy protection and it could be easily upgraded or swapped out instead of having to buy a whole new A/V pre-amp if the digital video protocols change.

A video switching link from the surround pre-amp to this switcher would be available so they can talk back and forth, however the cost savings to Outlaw Audio and to us would be enormous. Which would allow more money to be spent on the premium audio goods we've talked about so far.

Modular construction with audiophile grade components for consumer hardware and software upgrading would be ideal too.
