Could s video switch box casue input delay on a CRT?

[flancaroni]

Hello everyone - I recently purchased a sony trinitron CRT to use with older gaming systems and realized that I ran out of inputs quick. I'd like to use a s video switch box for the consoles but dont want to introduce lag as that is why I went with the CRT in the first place. If I use a switch box for multiple consoles will this create input lag?

The description indicates something about it having microprocessors which makes me think it could do some post processing and cause lag but I cant find any information about it.

I'll leave a link for the switch in question below. Thank you!

It shouldn't add any lag at all. The microprocessor is just how they control it. No video processing involved. It's just making contacts.

If inputs and output are all of the same connection type, then there is no video processing.
