Customer has an LCD on wall in his kid’s room and the kid wants to connect 3 video games, 1 VGA from his PC with audio and basic cable….all plated for convenience and aesthetics direct to the LCD...damn kids! Oh and no receiver allowed :-/

I know what I need but just can’t put it all together in a nice package that will look clean.

Here is what needs to be plated:

Game 1: Component Video with Left and Right Audio
Game 2: Component Video with Left and Right Audio
Game 3: Composite Video with Left and Right Audio
Computer: VGA and connector to accept a 3.5mm stereo mini jack for audio
Basic Cable: Standard F connector

Other than slapping together a bunch of decora port plates, does anyone know of a solution for this; especially the 3.5 mini?

Thanks!

Extron has some stuff that might suit that application. Look at their AAP modules and AAP plates. Here's the link:

Tweeterguy, what would be wrong with a bunch of decora plates? I personally would install a 3 or 4 gang box for the room. Parts Express has a 3.5mm jack to Cat5 keystone jack that works great. They can also get you the other stuff as well.
Just my opinion, I could be wrong.

Since the plates need to be accessable, The multiple plate solution would be pretty ugly....

The Liberty option is probobly the best bet. DOnt a few with em and the quality has always been great. Custom lable it any way ya want, and color/finish options are awesome....
