As the title suggests, can the PS3 (fat model without software BC) and the X360 (Jasper) output audio through both HDMI and optical at the same time?
I'm considering buying a video capture card (the Blackmagic Intensity Shuttle) and to avoid constant cable swapping I was browsing through HDMI splitters, but my old AC3 decoder only accepts optical (or coaxial) for digital audio, and HDMI-to-optical splitters cost way too much (and they require power). Or does anyone knows of a HDMI splitter (one in, two outs) with embedded optical audio splitting?
[edit] Found a Gefen unit with 2 outs and one HDMI+toslink out at 290USD. Not bad considered a 1:2 splitter + HDMI-toslink would cost more than that and would require two power sockets. Any other suggestions? Atlona doesn't produce HDMI+toslink unit apparently. The other problem is that is 10 inches wide...surely there must be something smaller.
