      No its just straight HDMI out from the motherboard.

        The switch had two inputs. At the time the OSSC was powered off as I only use it to send video from an older MS-DOS machine that needs to be upscaled.

        So I have a modern PC going directly to the switch, while I have the older PC outputting VGA to the OSSC. The OSSC then outputs HDMI to the switch on the second input. I wanted to power on the more modern machine to start a capture. With the OSSC and the MS-DOS machine powered down I turned on the modern PC plugged into the switch, with the correct input selected to pass video to my capture card. When I did this the display of the OSSC began to flicker like the device was going to try to power on. This seemed like it was bad news so I powered off the machine and removed the switch from the equation. I just ran my modern machine direct to my capture card to finish what I was doing.

        Later I hooked the OSSC back up the capture card directly and the image I posted above was the result.

          I did leave a review actually and mentioned the OSSC as the affected device. That said, its just some generic switch. I’m sure that whatever is plugged into it isn’t covered by any kind of warranty. Thanks for your suggestion regarding the TX chip. I’m confident that I could swap out a couple of capacitors or something like that, but doing a whole chip is likely outside my level of expertise. I do have a friend that might give it a go though. I suspect I’ll just be purchasing a replacement unit and let him roll the dice on this one. I also see that the OSSC pro is in the works. Maybe I’ll just wait and give that a go. Might just have to give my DOS machine a rest for a couple of months…
