Fully automatic monitor switching for use with PIV and CVPPC
«

I hope to soon be the proud owner of both a PIV and CVPPC in one Amiga. I'd like to use one monitor with my machine. So both the output of the PIV and the CVPPC must be connected to the monitor and I want the whole thing to automatically switch to the right video source.
Is this possible and if so what hardware do I need? A monitor switcher or a dual input monitor?

Hmmm I was thinking in the line of a dual boot system for P96 and CGX. Or maybe even triple when my PPC arrives for MorphOS. Troubles with that will probably my next topic;-)...
But back on topic. Doesn't CGX or P96 turn off any other display output when the other is on? That way the only thing the monitor switch would need to do is automatically switch to the active display input. No hacking would be needed to P96/CGX I presume?
Or am I missing something here?

Hehe it is expensive, but I wouldn't expect that comment from you, keropi!
Anyway the advantage would be that it switches automatically?

Here's another
one
.
This one is about 40 euros. But can CGX 4 be told to set my PIV to black when I use my CV-PPC. How about switching between AGA and the PIV?
