Solecis AVS-SL-0201-834

Overview

The Solecis AVS-SL-0201-834 (FG1330-1401-01) is a dual input PC interface
with audio. Known as the 'Xtra 2' because of its additional input for laptop,
visualiser or scaler. Switching between sources can be controlled from RS232,
the front panel, auto switching with priority or via contact closure connection.

Two simultaneous main outputs are available on both BNC and HD-15
connectors. The outputs are both 75 ohm driven with TTL sync restore for
connection to long cable runs. The audio inputs follow the video and are
converted to balanced or unbalanced outputs.

The AVS-SL-0201-834 may be used as a Single-Input Interface or a 2-Input
Switcher.

Manual Switch - Front Panel Operation

1. Power up switcher.

2. The Green LED A will light to indicate power present and A Input is
switched.

3. Set Dip switches as shown in the Rear Panel DIP Switches table.

4. Press INPUT SELECT button to change between Input sources.

Contact Closure

Toggle Switch

Set Dip switches as shown in the Rear Panel DIP Switches table.

• A momentary switch can be wired across connections A and B on the rear
panel.

• Manual and auto switch can also be enabled or disabled in this Toggle
mode of operation.

Latching

Set Dip switches as shown in the Rear Panel DIP Switches table.

• With control pins A and B open the unit will switch to Input B.

• When control pins are closed the unit will switch to Input A.

Note: When Dip switch 2 is set to Latch or RS232 all other functions will be
disabled.

RS232 Mode

1. Power unit down.

2. Set Dip switches as shown in the Rear Panel DIP Switches table.

3. Connect RS232 cable to Control pins as follows:

• TX - Pin A (RX)

• GND - Pin B (GND).

4. Power up unit.

Set System Protocol as follows

• Data - 8 Bits

• Stop - 1 Bit

Switch Commands

Note: Numbers are shown in HEX.

Input A

Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte3

FE 00 0A

Input B

Byte 1 Byte 2 Byte3

FE 00 0B

Note: When an RS232 cable is connected to the Control socket all other
functions will be disabled.

Auto Switch - Normal

Set Dip switches as shown in the Rear Panel DIP Switches table.

Auto-Switching

The unit scans the VERTICAL sync inputs of input A and B. If any signal
sources are active the unit will switch to the last detected input.

To switch between two active sources either disconnect the source and
reconnect or use the laptop video toggle mode to turn the Video output off then
on again (usually by holding the FN key with a Function key).

To operate in auto switch mode with manual override switch Manual dip down
to the On position.

Auto Switch - Priority

1. Set Dip switches as shown in the Rear Panel DIP Switches table.

2. When a signal is applied to Input A the unit will automatically switch to A.

3. When the signal is removed from Input A the unit will switch to Input B.

4. To operate in auto switch mode with manual override switch Manual dip
