Hdmi switcher problems

[tripletopper]

Hello.

 

I got ten devices that need to go into my HDMI capture card and CRT VGA monitor sinultaneously.

 

When I have 5 systems in an automatic switch, namely the Nnbtendo Switch and Wii U,  the Xbox One and 360, and the Dreamcast in a Native VGA adapter.

 

But if I were to either Daisy chain 2 HDMIs, and one item is a RetroTink SCART2HDMI or a Retrotink 2x Pro M, i notice my cheap Chinese Auto HDMI switcher goes on the blink.  Multiple lights light up for a second, then no signal.

 

I notice a 2 to 1 bidirectional manual switch keeps the signal intact.

 

My Phillps manual 3 system selector does not work well certain sitches when mixed with the electronic switch 

 

What's better, manual or autonatic switches, (or the right mix)?

 

I guess I can put the native HDMI stuff on on switcher, all the neo retro stuff on another auto switcher, and then connect them with a manual.

 

The only question is can the manual switcher do 3d?  It might be too old for it.

 

I guess I'll try that amd see what happens.
