Let's take a look at how to set up an Extron Crosspoint 300 to be used a switch solution for retro gaming consoles! I'll go over the parts needed to utilize an Extron for Composite/Component Set-ups and the basic ways to use and reset the switch. Plus, I'll show some alternatives to organizing your retro game consoles.

03:32 BNC and Phoenix Adapters

Clarification on the use of the phrase “Plug’n’Play:” At first I state that Extron isn’t plug’n’play then later I say it is. What I mean is: Out of the Box, you can’t just hook up consoles to it, you need the adapters listed below first. Once you get said adapters, actually using the Extron Switch is pretty simple, and typically does not require any specific programming.
