CHAPTER 1 SWITCHER SYSTEM OVERVIEW

1.1 Introduction

The Presentation Switcher is a high performance, zero-second latency switching

equipment with simple 3x1 transmission interfaces. It is a switcher and also a converter

means that it can handle virtually video/audio signals on its 3 HDMI inputs (PS-301) or 1

HDMI/1 VGA inputs (PS-301M). Split the HDMI signal and mix with the audio signal

comes from the MIC input interface integrated the optical SPDIF or R/L stereo audio

output signal. (R/L feature is only for PS-301M) The built-in converter handles analog to

digital conversion, as well as the signals conversion is virtually converted to any output

equipments including any projector, TV or other audio amplifier. Built-in extender

interfaces allowing you to integrate external extensible accessory devices to transmit

data or to over long distances up to 70 meters.

The Switcher can be controlled in some ways; the front panel offers input/output

selection and audio configured control, as well as an IR extender connected to rear

panel for user to control the PS-301 series with an IR controller.
