NCS Product Synopsis
Original Update: January 10,

A few years ago, a company
named Farmer released a
multi-console AV cable which
plugged into the Gamecube,
PS2, Dreamcast, and original
Xbox. It was very
convenient.
Fast forward to a new
generation and Farmer
returns with a component
video cable which links the
Playstation 3, Wii, and Xbox
360 to a component video
compatible television. A
four-position switcher built
right into the cable toggles
between the following
settings:
» Xbox 360 HD
» Xbox 360 YPbPr
» Nintendo Wii
» Playstation 3
Build quality is reasonably
good and image output is
comparable to standard Sony
and Nintendo component
cables at a lower price. As
an added bonus, using a
single cable eliminates the
need for multiple cables
piping through the back of
your home entertainment
system like a tangled
network of serpents.

NCS Product Notes
» There's enough
slack for each of the input
plugs on the console
connector side to reach all
of your gaming consoles if
they're positioned close to
each other inside a cabinet
or upon a gaming stand of
some sort.
» Please note that only one
console may be powered up
and piped through the cable
at one time. This may seem
to be obvious due to the
switcher built right into
the cable but we've been
receiving this type of
question via email
nonetheless.
»
The PS3 video plug also
works with the PS2 to pipe a
component video signal to
your television or monitor.
» Optical audio digital
output is supported on the
Xbox 360 connection but not
for the PS3 nor the Wii.
» The total length of the
cable is approximately 5
feet or 150cm.
