Scartblaster (scart switch) - How is it possible??

[Georgian2]

https://www.scartblaster.com/ - This one if from the RGB-PI creators. It claims to be an passive switch and needs no power. How could one connect up to 6 devices and still have the same voltage level on each of them? If the 6 TVs have 75Ohm resistors on the rgb inputs, the load would be too much for one output. Am I missing something here? Are the SCART Inputs on TVs high impendance?

My RGC 6 port switcher doesn't need power and works great. You can only use one port at a time. Isn't this one the same kind of thing?

Makes sense if only one port is connected but it says "Have all your CRTs connected at once to a single source". That's why I'm wondering how.

Think that might be misleading. You can have all your CRTs connected at once, but can only display on one at a time, probably. I could be wrong, though.

Looking at the website it does state in the features its one at a time in either direction, sounds like it has buttons to select the SCART from either Source or Destination depending which way round its wired.

6 inputs 1 output​

Six video sources switchable between each other to one output

1 input 6 outputs​

It can also be used to switch one video source to six different monitors

My Guess is that it will get all the power it needs via the power it can take from the devices plugged in over the scart cable, they just mean it doesn't need an external power brick or USB cable
