3 Overview
Your CSW-VGA211 is a high performance 2x1 automatic switcher for
VGA/SVGA/XGA/UXGA and stereo audio signals. The CSW-VGA211
detects the presence of the active VGA-type input signal from either IN 1 (the
default1) or IN 2—depending on how both DEFAULT SELECT switches2 are
set, as section 5.2 describes—and automatically routes it to the acceptor
connected to the VGA OUT and the AUDIO OUT connectors. In addition,
the CSW-VGA211:
With its video bandwidth exceeding 400MHz, ensures transparent
operation at the highest resolutions
Automatically switches the stereo audio signal with the video signal
(audio-follow-video) when switching the active input to the output
Includes ID BIT control3
Includes a pair of DEFAULT SELECT switches on the underside
for selecting the default VGA master source signal
1 That is, both DEFAULT SELECT switches on the underside are factory preset to IN 1
2 Both DEFAULT SELECT switches MUST be set to the identical IN #
3 Sometimes notebook computers refuse to output a VGA signal to an external VGA monitor. By setting the ID BIT to ON,
the notebook will output to an external VGA monitor

Includes a looping XGA input with a loop termination switch
Comes with contact closure remote control for forced operation
Uses active switching and has very selective sync detection and
reconstruction circuitry
To achieve the best performance:
Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noiselevels (often associated with low quality cables)
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances and position your
machine away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
Warning – Use only the input power wall adapter that is
provided with this unit.
Warning – Disconnect power and unplug unit from wall
before installing or removing device or servicing unit.
