Introduction
The A-6 Multi Media Port combines the following
functions:
• Input plate
• Four input Audio-video switcher
• Two input RGBHV switcher
• RGBHV splitter
in a single-gang wallplate. The Eiki A-6 greatly
simplifies installation and cabling and avoids the
need in most cases for video/audio and RGBHV
switchers.
Anyone who has ever had to manage AV
facilities will appreciate these unique features of
the MultiMedia Port:
• A fast-response “Signal Present”
indicator LED for the laptop input helps a
user to quickly set up a laptop so that it
is outputting a signal.
• MultiMedia Ports can be installed in
different parts of a room and “daisychained” to create an economical multipoint input solution with minimal wiring
and no central switchers.
• A “Monitor” output allows a desktop PC
to display its output on a projector and
its own monitor at the same time.
The diagrams on this page show the inputs and
outputs that are available on the A-6 Multi
Media Port. The rear connections use screw
terminal plugs to simplify the installation of
fixed wiring.
The Eiki A-6 is an ideal companion for the Eiki
MCS-1 and connects directly to it with the
supplied interface cable.
The A-6 may also be controlled by other
systems. It includes video sensor outputs that
may be read by external equipment. Or the A-6
may be used standalone and locked to any fixed
input arrangement by a combination of
connections on the interface cable.
Please note that the Cable Compensation
provision marked on the rear of the unit is not
implemented in current production.
