The basic idea behind the Control Centre 540C is to allow you to connect multiple devices through one input, in this case up to five round the back and another round the front (for temporary connections such as video cameras)... nothing new there. But the Control Centre 540C uses only component or composite inputs, meaning all you hi-def gamers will be well catered for.

To kick off, input one is dedicated to the Xbox 360 and uses the same proprietary connection as the Xbox 360, so all the high definition video and 5.1 sound is just passed straight through, using the composite or component output of the Control Centre 540C, straight to your HDTV.
But moving on from that, inputs 2-5 each give you a choice of composite, component and S-Video to hook up with, as well as each having an optical sound input too... so if you've already got an Xbox 360 and a DVD player and own an HDTV, you can take advantage of the Control Centre 540C straight away. But looking to the future, if you're planning on getting a PS3 or Sky HD, you're going to run out of HD compatible inputs very rapidly, so the Control Centre 540C could come in very handy.

And if that weren't enough, the Control Centre 540C even features a 5 port network hub.

I still don't understand what the 360 connector is for, are they making a male to male cable for it?

Yeah, id say thats what theyre doing.. then the last component/composite set (closest to the 5port hub) is for output.. while the ones in the middle are for other crap... yeahh... i think thats how its going to work (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif)

Hmm output....

SteveNZ · « **Reply #9 on:** August 23, 2006, 11:38:00 PM »

You mean it's finally been released after announced release dates being pushed back several months?

Be interesting to see a proper review of it to see what visual quality is like.

CollinstheClown · « **Reply #10 on:** August 24, 2006, 12:12:00 AM »

Oh, maybe they will include another 360 A/V cable in the box. Which would act as the output. Hmmmm...

Varung · « **Reply #12 on:** August 24, 2006, 12:21:00 AM »

they need to make this stuff with lot more inputs, there are a lot of System Selector out and all have the same amount of inputs.

Sennin · « **Reply #13 on:** August 24, 2006, 12:32:00 AM »

Seems nice, but I'll stick with my pelican system selector pro.

I like the one Neoistheone2000 pointed out.

DAMN
