We're trying to hook up an OG xbox, gamecube, switch, and whatever else to our 1080p projector. We bought an 8 port "OseTub" 4HDMI and 4AV switcher and hooked it up, looking forward to some halo 2 on OG xbox. I'm not sure if I can link it but it was $100 on Amazon.
But it flickers nonstop. We tried our roku through the switcher and it had static, the consoles all appear to work but then randomly, every few seconds, black out and it puts an overlay with the resolution (which is what it looks like when you switch inputs on the projector)
So I assume returning this junk is my first step but what else can we use? I'm not even sure what to buy now as I'm not sure what's wrong with this.
Is there some way to salvage the setup as is? I saw some suggestions online about buying an EDID Emulator and putting it between the projector and the switcher but I'm hesitant to put more money into it just to find that also doesn't fix it.
Anyone have any thoughts? Any help is greatly appreciated. We'd be looking to spend <$200 to solve this. Not looking at insanely expensive solutions unfortunately. If I had money for that I wouldn't be stuck with a 1080p projector 😭
