3 Overview
Your CSW-VGA212 is a combined 2x1 switcher and 1:2 distribution amplifier
for VGA-type signals. The CSW-VGA212 includes 2 inputs and an A /B button
to change between the 2 sources. In addition, with the CSW-VGA212:
Its video bandwidth of 365 MHz ensures transparent operation at the
highest resolution VGA modes
The selected input is properly buffered and isolated and then
distributed to 2 identical acceptors (for example, monitors or projectors)
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
